What Does Small Lump Between Thigh And Buttock Suggest?
Hi there, I have a small lump the size of a pea between the crease in my upper left thigh and buttock. It s like a small painless spot under the skin that s just white. It appears to be growing not drastically and has been there for 2 years now. What could it be. I have pictures of this.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A painless lump between crease in upper thigh and buttock is probably due to soft tissue swelling.
Soft tissue swelling at this site could be due to lipoma, fibroma, benign lesion arising from muscle tissue etc.
An aspiration cytology from the lesion will help to determine the site of origin and nature of the lesion.
Further management can be determined after performing aspiration cytology of the lesion.
Thanks and take care
