A member asked:
I have a lump on my thigh a couple inches above the knee. are theaw characteristics of cancerous lumps?

Have it checked out: Any lump bigger than one inch should be checked by your doctor especially if it is painless and steadily growing in size. If it is hard and growing, it could be a cancer. So get a medical check up before any more delays.
