+ 1 lumps under my skin, any advice please?

ad

I m just after some advice from the experienced guys out there: I've had a couple of lumps under my skin now for a few months and they've not gone. They're not anywhere near amy injection site, I have one in the inside of my bicep ( its about half a pea size, it doesn't really hurt but feels a bit uncomfortable when I feel it), and the other one is right on my groin which is a little bigger and again a bit uncomfortable to move about but not really painful. I'm a bit worried about them as they don't seem to be going at all. I've heard people talk about (knots) under the skin but I don't understand what this means. Can anybody shine a bit of light on this subject please? Thanks for your time guys.

you have lymph nodes all over your body ..... go get them checked .... you also can get fatty tissue deposits that feel about the same way... go to the doc and get them checked .... do not ignore them. chances are they aren't anything crazy but on the off chance they are you don't want to wait

The first thing a medical professional does when checking for cancer is feeling for lumps on your body. Once found, they are investigated.
Doesn’t mean it’s cancer, but it does mean you need to been seen by a doctor.

I have about 4 or 5 of those i went to the doc and they told me is a lipoma, a lump of fatty tissue between the skin and muscle. But still to be sure go to the doc bro.

We need to see the xrays and the results from the biopsy then we can tell you what to do.

Seriously, webmd and eroids is not the answer. Go see a doctor.

A doctor will be the best thing you can do.A lump can be nothing but a swollen lymph node.This happens often when on gear.The doc will probably prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotic and monitor it.It can however be a real sign of infection or even chronic desease like cancer,hep c or a host of other things.You doctor can help you figure out which!

Not trying to scare you but I've just lost a buddy to cancer.....
He had lumps in his groin as you discrbe. The fact that you've waited a few months to ask this question or seek medical help is scary.

GO TO YOUR DOCTOR NOW!!!

The advise to see a dr is for sure the best. Have it examined by an expert. I have had a few lumps over the years. This is my experience its not a suggestion as to how you should proceed. Feel free to think of it as bro science.
I had lumps in my shoulder, biceps, grion, shins, and gyno.
The lump in my shoulder was injection site related. It dissipated but took over a year.
Lumps in my bicep and grion were swollen lymph nodes. Those also went away on there own.
Lumps in the shin were the result of a form of hernia, those didn't go away but can be fixed surgically.
Gyno lumps... We know about these.
In my case, i was lucky and the lumps weren't serious. That doesn't mean your case is the same or you should wait for things to go away on there own. Get it looked at by a dr but don't give yourself a panic attack. Not every lump is cancer or life threating.

Sounds like a lipoma (small ball of fatty tissue between the muscle and skin). Some need to be removed, some don't. No matter what it is you should get it checked out by a Dr. to be safe

I thought it was a reply to my post! I've got the same problem, I've got a couple myself, groin arm and one in my back!

I would have that looked at. Could be a small hernia. Could be ruptured blood vessels. The only way to know for certain is to have it tested. I got a lump on a testical in my thirty’s. Turned out to be something called a benign epidemics. It finally went away. I remember feeling better after after I talked to the Dr.

Any unexplained lumps under my skin I’m
Going to go see a doctor ASAP!! Why even chance something like that. Not trying to scare you but my cousin found a little lump under his skin and it Turned out he had throat cancer. Your body has strange ways of giving you warnings. He’s made a full recovery because it was detected early. Don’t mess around better to be safe than sorry. Good luck
