small bump near instep and ankle area/fatty deposit

I saw a podiatist,yesterday, regarding this little bump which has been with mne a while but not been a bother.
It, recently, moved next to a vein and feels like something is trying to break through my skin.
It was located above my left arch instep and is now nearer the ankle area.
The doctor gave me some sort of shot to try to break it down and, if this doesn’t work, mentioned a minor surgery to take it out.
I must randomly manufacture these fatty things, as I had one removed from another body area a few years ago.
I was told to wait a few days to see if the shot worked.
What do you think?

    I agree with your doctor. There is no harm in waiting to see what happens after the shot. As far as “manufacturing these things” I can’t comment as I would need to see the pathology report from your previous surgery. That may or may not be true.
