Lump on my left shin.

Hello

I have just found a lump on my left shin but on the inside of my leg. What could this be??? I cannot remember bumping my leg anywhere recently however I do play lots of different contact sports. I will of course go see my doctor but I was just wondering if anybody knew what this could possibly be?

Thank you

most of the time a lump will be caused through irritation but behind the knee is very uncommon. i am going to have to say you definatly should tell you doctor. Also it could be a skin illness or just a type of small cancer (worst case senarios). I'm sorry i can't be much help i've never heard of that before.

Edit: i've just remembered you could have a case of shin splits
