Hey Everyone,
I'm 19 years old... and for the past 2 years I have had this weird bump., cysts like this on both of my cafts On the side of my leg. There not in the same spot, on eather lag but close. They dont really hurt inless I/m standing up for long periods of time. Then it's there weird preasure like feeling. If i push on there it's kind of like a sore feeling. And also if i stand for long periods of time they poke out and you can see a bump under my skin. It the about the size of a nickle maybe alittle bigger, but there round...ones a little bigger then the other one.
I have no insurance.. and at this time with christmas coming up i can afford ti see a doctor. The reason it is no to my cersern is because it seems like its getting bigger.
I hope its just a cysts but I really dont know...and if it is a cysts how do they get ried of them??
Thanks all,
Jessica :angel: :confused:

I have never heard of that happening but if you go to the local county health department you can probably see a GYN or a nurse prac and they can help you. It doesn't really sound like cancer though (cancer doesn't usually produce cysts) but I am not a doctor.

It might be vericose veins...not serious; it's very common in women but if you're that concerned, go to a clinic or a doctor just for peace of mind.

Can you move them at all under the skin? If so, then they're cysts or simply small fatty deposits which can be a little tender when pushed on. I doubt very much at your age and their location if it's cancer, I'm sure you would have had other problems by now if it were. And also, cancer doesn't hurt. The kind of lumps you want to worry about would be a hard, solid feeling mass that doesn't move and doesn't hurt when touched. Cysts and fatty deposits, on the other hand, do.

I had cancer in my leg, and it started out as a small bump that got ALOT bigger over the course of several months. After being treated for the cancer, I had several other small lumps removed, which were nothing more than fatty deposits. I got so sick of having little scars from where I got all that stuff removed, that now I simply watch the lumps to see if they grow or change. Cancer is VERY rare. I was told that 99.9 percent of the time a bump or lump is nothing. In my case, I was just so incredibly unlucky. Figures. I was born on Friday the 13th (no joke, lol). My form of cancer was so rare, only a few hundred people have ever had it. I wouldnt worry too much, but you can always have them checked out.
