Suggest Treatment For Lump On The Shin
I have a hard lump on my lower anterior leg (shin). It presented initially as a bruise and was tender to the touch. I don t recall injuring myself however. The tenderness has gone away but now there is still a hard lump and its been 2-3 weeks since this started.

Hi,
Get an Ultrasound of the lump. If it looks suspicious, get a FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY (FNAC). It will give a clue. If a blood clot is present, it can be evacuated. Any other diagnosis can be dealt with accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hari Charan Perigela, General Surgeon
