Need to see: If you have a lump on your leg, a doctor needs to be able to see it to make a good guess as to what it is. Use Healthtap Prime or talk to your local physician. Pictures can be uploaded to HT Prime. An exam helps as well, to know if the lump is solid or fluid (a cyst). Biopsies are always possible but may be unnecessary depending on the appearance. Lack of pain could be a good sign of benign dz.
