It is a lump on my right leg which is only visible sometimes like when I stay in certain positions. It is most commonly visible when I put my weight on my right leg and walk on it.
It's a very soft lump and I can easily press it down. I do not feel pain and it is not red, or any other weird color--It is under my skin and blends in evenly. It is about the size of a quarter.
I have had it my whole life.
What could it be?
I always forget to mention it to my doctor and wonder if it is worth a visit to the hospital?
As I said, I've had it my whole life and it has not changed one bit. It does not bother me but I do not want it there. I do not like the way it looks when visible.
What could it be???

It is probably a cyst that you should have the doctor drain next time you have an appointment. Don't leave it there, it could turn cancerouss over the years.

Specifically where in your right leg? Where it is anatomically can help narrow it down. Since you've had it all your life, but want it removed, you should really remember to bring it up with your doctor. It may be nothing or something.

I'm not a doctor or anything so just making a guess here but - could be a sebaceous cyst - or some other kind of benign cyst...
