What Causes Painful Lump On Inner Thigh?
Today I noticed a lump on my inner thigh. It is only painful to the touch, other then that it doesnt bother me. It looks bluish in color. A little bit smaller then a marble in size. Whatever it is it is not on the surface, it seems deep in there. what could this be? how should I treat it?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Bluish color indicates that this is a varicose vein. The pain can be caused by enlarged vein itself or by inflammation and blood clot inside. If this lump is soft, no need to worry, however if it is hard and painful, blood clot can be present inside. In such case you should consult a surgeon.
Dopplers ultrasound of veins should be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
