What Causes Sudden Lump On The Inner Thigh With Brownish Discharge?

Hey I am a 27 year old female. I just went to the restroom and notice a black bump/scab on my inner thigh and it seem a little hard like it was fill with something, I went to squish it to try to remove whatever it was and a thick brown like substance came out of it. Could you please tell me what this may be? Thank you!

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If there was a varicose vein in this area, the most probable reason of this lump is a blood clot in such varicose vein. Other lumps do not appear suddenly so maybe there was something before but you haven't notice it.
For sure it is nothing malignant and nothing you should be worried of. I suggest you to have it under observation. If it will heal without any problems, no need to do anything with it. However if it wont get healed, please consult dermatologist.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
