What Causes Growing Lump In Upper Inside Thigh?

I have a growth on my upper inside right thigh. It is raised about the size of a nickle, but causes me no pain or discomfort. I've had it for a couple of years and it's never bothered me, but I think it might be getting bigger, and it's just weird. What is this and do I need to get it looked at

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma or some soft tissue sarcoma like liopsarcoma, MFH or other. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Wide excision is the treatment of choice for most of soft tissue tumor. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
