A member asked:

To the right of my shin bone like on the side there is like a really hard bruse that looks like a lump what could it be i'm scared ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lump: It could just be a cyst. Hard to tell without seeing it. Unlikely area for a cancer. See a doctor for an exam.
