A member asked:

Soft bump above left inner ankle bone. painless. almost feels like muscle when i push on it but only on one ankle. had for long time now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Soft bump: The fact that it is painless and not growing is good and means that it is benign. It could be a lipoma/fatty tumor. You would need further testing for an exact diagnosis.
