Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Ankle
Hi. On my right ankle on the outer side, I have a quarter sized lump. It s not ball like in feeling but feels to the touch more like a bruise, but there is no discoloring or pain. It is not hard like bone but is rather hard like pooled fluid or soft tissue. What could this be?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumor or some benign cyst. You should go for examination. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
