Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
Even though it needs a physical examination to arrive at a diagnosis, from the history it seems to be a benign lesion. However, you might go for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) for a cytological diagnosis after consulting a general surgeon for his opinion.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
