What Is The Treatment Of Bump On Inner Thigh ?
I have a pimple/bumb on my inner thigh, I've had it for a few months & it was just white discharge when I popped it (like a pimple) well today I looked at it & it is swollen & it took me a few minutes to pop this time. It never hurt before & now it hurts & the discharge was bloody & clear. What can it be?

Hi,
This is most likely a sebaceous cyst that has become infected. This is not serious. If it does not settle in a few days I suggest you see your doctor as you may need antibiotics. On the meantime, do not squeeze it, keep it clean and apply sterile dressings.
