Hi I have two lumps, one in my thigh and one in my buttocks they are quite small no more than 3 cms and hurt when I press them, I have had them for years and they havent grown in size I am 19 years old can you help me? I am so worried that it is cancer
Hello! Thank you for the query. It is not a cancer for 99%. So do not be afraid of it. Please note that cancer usually does not hurt at all (especially skin cancer).These lumps are most likely benign skin lesions like sebaceous cysts or lipomas. Varicose veins should be also considered. I suggest you to consult a surgeon. In case of doubts, soft tissues' ultrasound (or Doppler's ultrasound if varicose veins seems possible) should be done. Lumps can be removed with small incision. Hope this will help. Regards.
