Lipoma

Bump

Graeme has a lump on his leg just below his knee, called a lipoma.

I saw a doc in Feb about it and he said it was just a fatty deposit (which is what a lipoma is essentially), he told me it would remain the same size as G grows.

I was relatively happy with this.

Until the tiny blood blister on it quadrupled in size. And I noticed darker hair on the lump. So i went for a second opinion at G's normal pead. He told me the proper name for and the fact that it would grow as G grows.

He is just worried about the fact that the blister has grown and the hair. So has recommended I take G to a dermatologist, as soon as I can.

And get the lump removed before G hits 4, mostly because it would look odd and to avoid teasing at school. That would have to be done with a plastic surgeon.

Any one have any experience on this?
