What Causes Painful And Red Bump On The Top Of Ankle?

I have a hard red bump with white on top of it on my ankle, it was smaller months before and it doesn t hurt, but it is growing Ikknow because it s bigger than before, but still only very small. What could it be? I can scratch the deadwhite sskin off the top but the bump is still there, it s NOT a zit and it s HARD. I also lung nodules but don t know if that has anything to do with it, my lung Doctor says he thinks my lung nodules are ok though, Ihave aanother CT Scan in February if they haven t grown then he says Iddon t need anymore CT scans again because Ihhave had 3 scans already...

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, painful and red lump on the top of ankle indicates soft tissue swelling with possible inflammation inside.

* The most common pathology at this place with narrated picture is Bunion cyst around medial malleolus bone.

* If you can provide me CT reports during follow up discussion, it would be better to guide in this fashion ahead.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
