I’ve been going through my worst period of HA in years and now I keep remembering every little thing that’s off with me.
I’ve had this little fat lump (like a lipoma) on my buttock for 3 years now. It’s soft and squishy and evens out if I pull the skin around it. Doesn’t hurt when I press on it either, however it does get a bit irritated and red, probably because of the location. It’s about 3 cm in diameter and from what I’ve noticed, hasn’t changed at all, though it’s difficult to tell because it’s not somewhere I can easily see. I sometimes ask my mom to check it and she keeps wondering why I’m even stressing out about it because she can’t feel anything weird there.
Now, I used to stress out about this and showed it to my GP twice, once in 2016 and second time in 2018. She looked at it a bit, pressed it and told me it’s nothing bad and I shouldn’t worry and I can leave it be.
Due to a recent spike up in anxiety, this has been on my mind again. Should I follow up on this thing or have I done everything and can leave this be? Three years of having a lump is enough to be convinced it’s utterly harmless, right? Logic tells me it’s impossible to last this long with a dangerous lump.
