A member asked:

I have a lump on the lower posterior portion of my left thigh, above my knee. i do not seem to have one on the right leg. could this be something bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: You need to have the lump evaluated. It may be a simple cyst but any lump should be evaluated by a doctor.
