A member asked:
Have had a cyst in left outer thigh for. a couple years and now it has become larger and is very sore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: This sounds like it might be a sebaceous cyst. These are not cancerous or dangerous, but can get infected and get quite large and painful. You may need to have it removed, or may need antibiotics.
