Lump

Hey, so I have a lump under my skin right on the inside of my thigh basically on my bikini line, sometimes it can be really really sore and then it's a red area. It's strange to touch its like it's filled with something. But I can't get anything out of it because it's under my skin? I'm concerned, not sure if I should be worried? 
I rang the docs a while ago and they said it was a swollen lymphnode but it's gotten bigger.

thanks

  • Hello there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear you have a lump that is worrying you. I'm afraid no one here can diagnose you and we always suggest people go back to their doctor if a symptom persists or gets worse.

    It seems you have spoken to your GP about this before. Lymph nodes can swell and this is usually because of infection, with time these often settle on their own but sometimes it can take longer. However as you say it has got bigger I would speak to your GP so they can reassess you and arrange more tests as needed.

    I hope things settle soon and you can get some peace of mind.

    Take care

    Hi Naomi, 

    Thanks for responding.

    it was just if anyone could shed some light on what it may be or if anyone had ever heard of it before.

    but I'll ring my GP

    thanks
