Throughout lockdown I had head to toe itchy skin, it was unbearable, I rang the doctors countless number of times but they just kept giving me painkillers - eventually after 6 months they sent me for a blood test and it turned out even though I'm only 25 my kidneys were functioning as if I am 50. 

since finding that out I've been waiting for an ultrasound to find out the reason which I finally have next week,

hlwever as that was going  on I found a small red lump on my leg, I took a picture of it mid September and since then it has tripled in size. The skin is red, the lump is hard, growing, I can't move it and it doesn't hurt to touch. 

I did see a doctor but I'm now waiting for an ultrasound on that and the longer I wait the worse my anxiety about it gets. I'm wondering about paying for a private doctor in the hopes this speeds up process because google is terrifying me!

has anyone else found a growing red lump under the skin before? It turns the skin around it red.
