Suggest Treatment For Bumps On Hip And Thighs
Question: Hi. I have had this bump thing on my hip for a couple of years, and I was just wondering what it might be. It doesn't hurt or anything, and I don't think it has changed in size for as long as I can remember. I'm a runner, and I always associated this with my running. I can move it under the skin, but it feels a little firm. Again, the lump hasn't changed in size, and it is maybe 1-1.5 inches across on the skin below the thigh. Also, the skin hasn't seemed to change about it. It is the same color as the skin surrounding it, but I can feel the bump below.
I'm sorry, I forgot to add that it is on the outer thigh, not inner

Hi young ..
Thanks for your query and an elucidate description of the bump or the lump.
Painless, moving under the skin, skin above is normal, not changing the size.. . the most probable diagnosis is a lipoma.
Since you are a runner it would be advisable to get this confirmed once by getting examined by a Surgeon. You may go for ultrasonography and FNAC only if asked by Him.
I hope this answer helps you.
