For the past month or so I have had a few small lumps on my left calf. My calf isnt swollen but the lumps are painfu to the touch and are very tender. There is no red mark or indicaton that they are there, only when touched you can feel them. I am obese. Could these be fat deposits, or cysts? I dont think it is a blood clot because I have had them for a while and they havent spread or gotten worse. Please tell me what you think it is and if it is serious or if it is harmless
Hello! Thank you for the query. It is hard to tell not being able to see it. It can be varicose veins, puss filled lumps caused by autoimmune disease. Fat deposits do not give pain. As it may be serious to please do not ignore it. Consult your doctor. Have an ultrasound of these lesions. General surgeon should be also consulted. Hope this will help. Regards.
