What Causes A Small Lump On The Inner Thigh?

I have a very small lump in my inner thigh underneath my skin. It is puffy to the touch not painful but causes discomfort when i try to squeeze it. It s flat almost. I recieved a papsmear prior to this before i even had it and everything came back normal and i know everything is still normal cause i m married. So i know its not an std of any sort. I am 6 weeks pregnant. I never had this before so it freaked me out.

Hi,

Noted your history of a very small lump that developed underneath the skin of inner thigh, 6 weeks pregnancy, papsmear negative, the lump is puffy to touch, causes discomfort on squeezing.
Such a small lump may be a small sebaceous cyst or a boil hence nothing to worry about.
Since you care pregnant 6 weeks, no medications are allowed in the first 3 months of pregnancy hence the policy is wait and watch.
Do not squeeze on the lump at all as this can spread infection.
Most of such lumps usually resolve on their own by the body's healing mechanism.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
