Hi, I ve been wondering about a hard lump on my inner thigh that s been there for about 6 months. It feels like a deep skin cyst, but does not have a white head or any fluid leaking from it. If I squeeze or accidentally scratch it, it is extremely painful. It doesn t look like a boil, so what is it? And how would I get rid of it?

most probably it a sebaceous cyst; however, some other possibilities should also be considered like neurofibroma, bursa or a lipoma or even a parasitic cyst!
An FNAC test is the easiest way to confirm the diagnosis in this case.
all the best!
