Suggest Treatment For A Hard Bump On The Thigh

Hi. I have had this small hard bump at my side for a while. I didn t pay much attention to it until recently when I noticed it smells terribly bad. I remember having something similar on my back one time, and one inside of my thigh. Both popped by themselves with a smelly stuff coming out. What can I do to get rid of this one??

Hello respected,

brief answer,
It can be sebaceous cyst

detailed answer,
Hi, I can understand your concern for such bump with foul smelling stuff coming out.
I believe your description matches the sebaceous cyst.its because of the obstruction of duct of the sebaceous gland that leads to accumulation of foul smelling sebaceous material in it.and usually there is punctum (hole) on the bump, through which occasionally material comes out.

best way is to see a surgeon and get it excised,

thank you , and wish you a good health
