How To Treat Lump On Inner Thigh?
I have a lump on my inner thigh or groin which when lying down I hard to feel but when sitting it is detected. Doesn t hurt but is kind of hard rather than soft. It hasn t increased in size and was first noticed about a week or so ago. It is close to the line where my underwear and crotch meet. Treatment?

Hello,
I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Based on your history it seems like you have enlarged inguinal lymph nodes. It is common to see enlarged lymph nodes in this area if you have any kind of infection or inflammatory condition in leg. Also if you have any kind of skin infection in that area lymph nodes gets enlarged.
Usually their size gets reduced after few days. But still is advisable to consult a doctor to get it examined.
I hope this helps.
If you have any other queries I'll be happy to help
Regards,
Dr.Prathap Kumar
