What Can The Lump On The Shin Of An Infant Indicate?

My 22 month old son has been holding his thigh and crying on and off for 3 weeks. He recently started holding his knee too and I noticed a small lump on his shin today. His leg is not sensitive to touch or movement. He has no fever but has had cold symptoms. Please help

Hi,

It could be a minor injury which might have resulted in a soft tissue injury or it could be bone pain. I suggest that you consult your pediatrician as on hands examination is necessary here.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
