Accepted Answer

Several things: This is a problem that necessitates a face-to-face meeting with your doctor.  This will allow him/her to examine you, ask specific questions. And possibly order tests to find out what's wrong and what to do to help you.

Question 2

i have a hard, painful lump under the skin in my upper thigh. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Lump: And painful lump is cause for concern. You should definitely have it checked out.

Question 3

ive got a pea sized lump right under the skin on my upper thigh. its quite firm, painless and cant be seen. im scared its sarcoma! ?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it: It is more likely a common lymph node.  Have your regular doc evaluate it the next time you go in. If you are loosing sleep/stressing schedule a visit now.

Question 4

hard, 1cm round lump under skin front upper thigh unchanged for 7 years. is it cancer? female age 35.

Accepted Answer

Probably not!: A 1cm lump that has not changed for 7 years is very unlikely to be cancer! Why? Because cancer grows, especially if it is not treated. What you describe sounds like a benign mass or cyst. An ultrasound and/or biopsy would give you a diagnosis, but it might not be necessary.  Ask your primary care provider to take a look at this next time you're in.  And read about lipomas to see if that fits!

Question 5

firm pea sized lump on upper thigh. painless, and right under the skin. cant be seen, only felt. scared its a sarcoma!? please reassure me?

Accepted Answer

Pea sized lump  : Under the skin, we can find lumps from an enclosed skin infection, non concerning fibrous changes, a neurofibroma, and several other things. Most of the time they are of no concern. Adult fibrosarcoma is rare. You should see your doctor, on rare occasions, a doctor may want to be sure and take it out for analysis.

Question 6

are the lumps in my legs fatty tumors or what? i have several lumps/bumps under the skin around my upper thigh area.  one is near my panty line, it is about the size of the tip of my thumb and hard but does not hurt.  it's been there probably 8 or 9 years

Accepted Answer

Fatty : Fatty tumors (or lipomas) are usually not hard. They are usually soft and squishy. If you  have a hard mass along your lower panty line that could be a chronically inflammed inguinal lymph node.  Can't determine what they are through this venu. Recommend that a family doctor or dermatologist examine you and determine what the lesions are.

Question 7

25 y/o f. i have a lump in groin area btwn upper thigh and pelvic area. it is unmovable, approx 1 cm, painful even w/o touch, deep under skin.

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: In this area, a lump could be a lymph node, a hernia, a cyst. Avoid rubbing or manipulating. If persists longer than a week, get in for evaluation with your doc. Ultrasound will make the diagnosis of hernia versus something else. Be well.

Question 8

i have a large painful lump on my upper thigh under the skin. it is red, swollen and very painful, especially when walking or sitting. what isit?

Accepted Answer

Infection&gt; see Dr!!: Your description is concerning and suggests a bacterial infection and abscess(collection of pus). It could be from an infected sebaceous cyst or other cause. You should see a physician today to confirm  infection and drain any abscess if present.

Question 9

i have a lump on my upper thigh it harts and it's hard and an inch wide?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: There are several possible diagnoses. May be a growth, an abscess or a foreign body or something else. I strongly suggest that you make an appointment with your primary care physician very soon.

Question 10

hello, i have a painful, hard, quarter sized lump on my upper thigh. its red around the actual lump and hasn't got any smaller.

Accepted Answer

Abcess or pustule.: This may be a small abcess or pustule. The redness around the lump may also be a sign of infection. Could also be an infected hair follicle from shaving the legs. 
See your doc over this to make sure it is not serious.
