Hi. My mom has been experiencing problems with her inner thigh. Its a multiple set of hard under skin lumps, stretching the skin and it looks as if it has been progressing over the past few months. She says it hurts when she touches them and of course when its rubbing against her clothes. It also seems to be going downwards. They are really really hard bumps, no redness no itching, just really hard, and there is like over a dozen of them, now its starting to look as if they are closer to one another, comparing to before. Thanks.
