Red lump under skin - very worried

Hi,

 

im just wondering if anyone has had anything similar?? I have a lump under the skin on my thigh. It doesn't come out of the skin, it's very much under the skin. It's smooth, doesn't hurt and doesn't move and the only reason I noticed it is because the skin where it is , is red/blue. If you didn't feel it you would think it was a bite or bruise but to feel it's a definite lump underneath! 
 

im waiting for an ultrasound, but I'm so worried it's something serious. There isn't actually much on google about lumps with the colour that mine is. I have had loads of issues with my moles and some have been cancerous in the past so I'm worried it could be skin cancer?!

 

has anyone had anything similar??

 

thanks!

  • Hi Copelannd,

    It's good to hear you have already got this checked out and that you have an ultrasound coming up, so hopefully you'll know more before too long.

    The best thing if you can is to sit tight and wait for the scan and then the results - keep yourself busy as much as possible in the meantime. Try to steer clear of Googling or other things as the information can often be irrelevant.

    Wishing you all the best and I hope it's not too long to wait to find out more,
