hard lump...im so scared. plz help!

before anyone says anything, im going to my doctor monday to have it checked out. i would go to the ER, cuz im THAT worried, but it doesnt hurt and it isnt really an emergency i guess. im just really anxious about it.

i noticed a bruise on my wrist the other day, its healing because its greenish yellow and whatnot. and i also noticed one just above my waistline on the right side of my lower stomache. now this ones the same color. i dont remember exactly when i got them or seeing them develope but i was at a pretty rowdy concert, aka mosh pitting, and i took quite a "beating" i guess you would say, so im sure that would explain them. the wrist one isnt worrying me, its normal. but the one on my stomache area is. the location is the same as where my pants+belt go. and that night i had a pretty tight belt on and all the pushing and shoving maybe thats how i got the bruise, from the metal belt. anyhow, i felt the bruise and theres a hard lump under it. its fairly moveable, i think im moving it around in place anyhow. it doesnt hurt, i mean the area is a bit tender IT IS A BRUISE afterall, and it feels like a cyst like ive had before in other areas of my body. i lost about 80 pounds about a year ago so my old doctor told me i would notice these more because the less fat and such, and that even being overweight causes the cysts as well. but im wondering. if its located at my bruise, is it possible its a hematoma... an erupted cyst or inflamed one... or cancer or something more serious? im really worried. ill find out asap from a physician but i need some reassurance im not dying here, p.s. i have been diagnosed with depression/anxiety problems/hypochondria/ocd so things tend to be 100x worse for me to handle.

Re: hard lump...im so scared. plz help!

From your description of the bruising, it does indeed sound like a possible hematoma, which will go away on its own. The doctor can verify that on Monday.

The fact that it is soft and moveable is another reason to doubt that it's any kind of cancer. I would relax tomorrow, and see your doctor on Monday, but I sincerely doubt it's going to be anything serious.
