Q: what type of lump changes in size and firmness? i had a lump on my right calf that gets smaller or bigger at times and also changes from hard to soft?

: The only lump in a calf that fluctuates in size &amp; consistency that I can think of would be a fluid filled cyst that leaks liquid material on and off. Although I think.it's a benign lump I also think you should see a physician to get an accurate diagnosis and advice.
