What Causes Hard Nodules On The Inner Thigh?

I am a 39 year old woman. I notices a somewhat hard nodule just above my knee on my inner thigh about 3 or 4 months ago. It doesn't hurt or anything like that, but I have checke it regularly and there have been times that I haven't even been able to find it. About 2 days ago I noticed I think 2 or 3 more on my inner thing higher near my groin area. What could this be? Do I need to see a doctor ASAP?

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

That lump could be a lymph node. That is the only thing that comes and goes.

You might be having some kind of infection below your waist line to cause them to reappear.

I would suggest that you show yourself to a physician for a clinical examination to help find the point of infection.

Hope i have been helpful.

Regards
Dr. Ashish Verma
