When i flex or put pressure on my foot a circular bump shows in my shin, doesn't hurt but i can see and feel it with my hand. what is it?

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Most : Likely small muscle bulge from the anterior portion of the shin. (Different muscles located there). So when you put pressure on foot you are engaging the muscle. Hence the circular bulge.
