What's this bump on my leg I get after exercise?

I used to get it all the time after running or exercise in general. I've yet to have somebody be able to tell me what it is though.

Where exactly on your leg is that located.0 -
dont see a bump ... and you need to see a dermatologists or your doctor ... we dont give medical advice0

There haha
And I've went to my doctor, but unfortunately, I never have it when I go. It only appears during exercise or dancing/directly after.0 -
is that a shin splint? If it is, it would be very painful. Either way, you should ask a doctor. I'd really want to know.0

Is that on your shin? I had one on my shin for years and one day I just noticed it was gone.0

Tough to tell from a picture. You need a doctor to feel around the area. A guess would be a small hernia or maybe dilated veins. It looks like it's on your thigh? If it's on your shin, shin splints would go on my list too. If you can't remember the exact spot after it goes down, mark the spot with a sharpie before you go to the doctor, so you can show him exactly where to palpate. Also, show him the picture. That way if there is something there, it will be less likely to get missed.0

ok thanks guys. I mean it's been there since I was in the 5th grade. I've just always wondered about it0
