Question
I would like to ask, I have a red lump on my leg, slightly bigger than a soybean, and it’s also a bit red. What is this? It feels like something bad, do I need to go to the hospital for a check-up, or can it just disappear on its own?
Answer
This kind of situation is usually congenital and generally not malignant. If you are very worried about it and fear that it might be malignant, it is best to choose to go to the local hospital for surgery to have it removed and undergo pathological examination. In fact, the lump you mentioned may be a subcutaneous cyst or a sebaceous cyst. As long as it can be moved around, it is benign. It is recommended not to touch or irritate it frequently. If you absolutely have to resolve this issue, surgery is the best method.
