What Should I Do For This Lump On My Leg Which Is Painful ?
Hi, I have a lump that I have just noticed on my leg. It is between my ankle and knee . It is not painful to touch. It is the size of a golfball. It is on the side of my leg. Should I be worried? I haven t had any injuries to the area.

Hi!,
Welcome To HealthcareMagic forum,
If you can pinch your skin above the lump then its a lipoma & if not then a sebaceous cyst.
Both these conditions are benign and have no serious side effects .Both can be removed by surgery.You can either consult a dermatologist or a surgeon for treatment.
