Hi i have a purplish lump on my inner thigh, about 1 INch from my groin i have had it for about two months now no bigger but no sign of it going. it is slightly uncomfortable when i walk but not really painfull. at first i thought it was a ingrowing hair infected but now i do not think so could it be varicose veins? should i see my doctor ? i am female by the way and overweight .

Hi geai,
Thanks for writing in to Healthcare Magic!
It can be a lipoma, a neurofibroma or a saphena varix, an enlarged lymph node.
You can understand so many resembling problems are there.
It would be very helpful for me if you could put a follow up query to me with front and side photos of the lump. You can get examined by a physician of your locality as well.
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!
