Knot On Leg, Swelling, Not Sore Or Painful. Varicose Veins?
i have small pea size knot on my lower leg on the outside. it s been there for years. i do have some swelling . i was told it could be from vericose veins is this true? and i ts not sore or painful
I would suggest you to show it to a general surgeon and get ultrasound. If this swelling is since years and has not progress and not causing nay symptoms then you can observe it. It does not require any active management. If some abnormality is shown on Ultrasound report then you can get it excise.
