Sounds: like a cyst (one type=sebaceous cyst ot a LIPOMA (fatty tumor benign!) Show it to a Medical professional. Most of the time these are easily removed if it is painful etc

I have a small, purple, slightly raised, maybe fluid filled bump on my top inner thigh from having to wear the same shorts daily for my sport. It is most likely caused from constant rubbing, but I just ignore the pain. How can I get rid of it?
