What Causes Lump Around Inner Thigh?
Hello,
The other day when I was applying lotion, I noticed a pea sized, hard, lump that doesn't move around on my inner thigh above my knee. I thought it was maybe a cyst or something and tried pressing on it a little bit, but nothing came out. It hurts when I push on it. Just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Most likely it is a varicose vein. If its hard and tender, some blood clot can be present in it. This is more probable if you have also legs swelling when standing for a long time.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon first. Dopplers ultrasound should be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
