Just wondering if anyone is able to advise what this is. It is on the bottom of my leg up from my ankle and ive had it over a year. The lump is hard and raised. Sometimes its quite red then other times its more white and flaky. Ive been to the doctors. They say its fine but i'd like a second opinion. As I get older im getting more more moles so wonder if its that. My mum has had skin cancer several times so obviously that is a worry. Would I be able to get it removed? Thanks for your help.

    The first sign of a sarcoma in an arm, leg, or torso may be a painless lump or swelling. Most lumps are not sarcoma. The most common soft-tissue lumps are lipomas. Lipomas are made of fat cells and are not cancer
