Lump in thigh, terrified

[emkana]

I found a lump in my thigh tonight, Dr Google makes it sound really really bad :-(
Can anyone help?

Bump

Is it soft and moveable? Chances are it's a fatty lump. I have loads of them

Thanks for answering. It's quite hard, slightly painful to touch, about pea size.

Thigh or groin?
ingrowing hair?
Lymph node?

Lots of not scary possibilities...

Outside of thigh, not directly under skin and can't see it, just feel it.

My uncle a gp once told me that we all have lots of odd lumps in our bodies but just don't notice

Is it a good or a bad sign that it hurts when touched?

It's probably nothing even with discomfort but yes go get it looked at. I've had loads of lumps over the years and non have been anything so far

I did have that injection but that was nearly nine years ago!

Probably a cyst, i had similar on my collarbone. Went after a while. Mobile is good. just under the skin is good. painful is good. Just as well to get it checked just so you don't send yourself loopy. inner or outer thigh?

Outer thigh

Outer thigh

Appointment at gp booked, just need to stop googling!

Em it would be an odd place to get a primary cancer. If you have a history of say melanoma then you might have cause to be concerned but otherwise it isn't in a typical lymph node area and I would really not worry too much x

Thank you

Sounds like a fatty lump or the after effects of a bruise or an abscess/cyst. I wouldn't worry.

i have one in my back, it's squishy / moveable, if it's the same thing it's called a lipoma, and they are not dangerous!

Lipoma.
