29 year old male. I have a lump on my inner left thigh, perhaps 2 inches from my genitals. It is hard, smooth, and appears to be separate from the skin, lying underneath. There is no visible evidence of it being there, I can simply feel it. It doesnt cause any pain. It just concerns me, probably more so because my medical insurance expires in 5 days. Is this something that should be removed, drained, left alone, or what?
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Since how many days/months is it there? Is it freely mobile? Do you have fever? This can be a lipoma i.e. benign tumor of fatty tissue. But as you have mentioned, is it really hard? Coz lipomas are soft or firm at the most but not hard. This can also be an enlarged inguinal lymph node. Local examination by your doctor once is necessary.FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology is advisable for accurate diagnosis. Treatment is done accordingly. Hope this information is useful to you. Wish you healthy life. Thanks. Regards.
