What Does A Red Lump Around The Shin Bone Indicate?

I have a red lump around my shin bone, I had it about a month ago but it disappeared itself, the past few days I have noticed it coming back, it s bit senstive to touch and has a burning sensation? I also noticed a small pea sized ball under my skin under my armpit but this has been here quite a while . I was just wondering do I need to get these checked out or what could it be?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello

The red lump around your shin bone could be a case of erythema nodosum or cellulitis. A photo of the red rash could be helpful.

I think you should get immediate consultation with dermatologist. You should check also that pea sized ball under the skin of your armpit. They could be related too.

Regards,
Dr.Albana Sejdini
