What Can Cause Lump On Thigh ?
my girlfriend woke up yesterday with a lump on her upper thigh. she has thyroid issues and when she doesn t have her medication she sleeps for hours on end. after sleeping for over 18 hours she woke up with a very sore upper thigh. it continued all day and when I asked, she showed me a substantial lump. it s close to the size of my palm now, after 24 hours, and it was always painful to the touch. the pain seems substaintial unless she is immobile. the lump looks mostly the same color as her skin except for what looks like a bruise on a part of the lump. is this an emergency or urgent situation? what is it?

HI,Welcome to HCM.
Your Health issue is-Cause of lump on thigh-
Based on the facts of your query,you seems to have Urticarial lump,mostly after insect bite,during the long 18 hr sleep.As there are no other urticarial lumps to label it as Hives/Urticaria of Idiopathic origin(AIU-Acute Idiopathic Urticaria.
It seems to be acute vasculitis,in response to unknown insect bite.
