How long have they had it,is it growing or staying the same size. I have a freind that had a small bump on the side of her leg all the doctors told her it was nothing. It grew very large and they were going to remove it but decided to take a sample to do a biopsy. She thought it was going to be removed, the doctor told her he decided to do a biopsy on a small piece because it looks like cancer. When the result came in it turned out to be and I don't know if this is the proper name for it so when ever I find out I'll add it but it's either fibra myolga or fibra mitosis or similar to these names. It was one gene away from cancer and it only affects 1% of the population, the doctor said had he removed the the piece there would have been nothing he could do because of the way it grows. All of the muscle on the side of the leg was removed plus half of the cheek on the butt.The doctor said that some people get on there chest and if that would have been the case, there would have been nothing that could have been done. It eventually grows around the heart and slowly crushes the heart. I'm not saying what your friend has is the same thing if it doesn't hurt on its own only when it's touched then your friend should be okay but try to convince your friend to go to a doctor. My friend lost all the muscle on the side of the leg all the way up to half the butt because a doctor told her not to worry about the small bump. Your friend could lose the finger or possibly the hand over the small bump

i'm getting the comparable element from time to time. properly, they sound comparable. it must be an allergic reaction to a minimum of something (cloth possibly?). I artwork on the floor lots. Carpets and stuff and from time to time get bumps on my wrists and forearms. I purely attempt and keep away from touch with the carpet. They (the bumps) often bypass away interior an afternoon or 2. bypass see a physician while you're actual in contact.

Could be something in there, like a splinter or piece of glass. They should go to a doc.
