What Causes Soft Ball Like Structure On Top Of Thigh?
Question: Hi, i see a soft ball like structure on the top of the thigh right beside the bladder, it looks red and a little painful when touched googled a little about this and thought this might be epidermoid cyst. This thing is freaking me out! Please help to cure it naturally.
Brief Answer:
May be a cyst or a lymph node
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
As per the description you have given this soft call like structure on the top of the thigh beside the bladder which looks red and tender (pain on touch) can be an infected cyst as you are rightly thinking. Other possibility is that it may be a lymph node.
Just o know the details please tell me few more points :
-Since when have you got this lump and since when has it become red and tender ?
-What is the size and is it moving with the skin when you move the skin or the skin can be moved freely over it ?
-Any associate problems of infection at the penis or scrotum / any itching ?
Irrespective of the cause, I think it will be better to take a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for more and give the feedback.

Liq Betadine locally .
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
If this is just of one day origin, looks to be a boil.
You can apply liquid Povidone Iodine (Betadine) to the skin over and around it to sterilize the skin.
No diet restriction or additional diet in such conditions unless you have diabetes.
