A member asked:

I have a lump on my left side of the stomach for over 3 years now.it hurt sometime snd feel burning. is it cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is it in the skin?: three years is a long time. You would have more trouble by now if it is cancer. More likely it is some cyst in the skin. The part that sounds serious is the pain and burning. You've waited and suffered long enough. Get it checked by a medical person.
