Hi just wondering if anyone has come across lumps like this before ? We are awaiting an urgent ultrasound but I’m a bit unsure what they can be . They are fairly firm and only hurt if pressed hard , no injuries that we know of .TIA

My guess is lipomas (fatty, non-cancerous growths)- are they quite soft and moveable? Or are they boney?

It could be small additional bone growths (bone spurs it may be called?). I have these on both of my feet and they have been there for many years since childhood. They feel like part of the foot and bone structure rather than a growth on top. I remember my mum taking me to the dr about them when I was young. No apparent reason for them and they have never given me any problems at all.

I had about 4 of these on my feet when I was around 11. They were ganglion cysts. Needed them scanned then drained!
