What Causes Hard Lump On The Inner Thigh?
My son is 9yrs old & has a knot on his inner thigh that I just noticed tonight. I remember seeing a little one in the same place a couple months ago, but he wouldn t let me study it saying mom, it s nothing, your embarrassing me now it s much bigger--it s pink with a slightly darker crusty center & a pretty solid knot right beneath--freaking out a little!!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have hard lump on the inner thigh. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like folicullitis , local infection , lipoma or allergy . I would suggest you to keep the area clean and dry , wear loose cloths , apply over the counter antibiotics cream and apply warm compresses . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like allergy test or take sample for lab test . Doctor will check physically for tenderness and consistency . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clarithromycin along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid cream . Doctor may also recommend surgical excision .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
