What Causes Painful Bump On Upper Inner Thigh?
Hi I am a 21-year-old female that works as a cashier. When I changed into my PJs tonight I noticed I had a bump on my upper inner thigh. I have gotten them before and usually with time they go away. This time though there's this light red liquid coming out of it. The bump hurts when it is touched and feels hard.

Hi. The area you mentioned is prone to have such bumps , may be due to friction or so.
One of them must have been transformed into an abscess and opened up giving light red liquid. Pain is due to inflammation, the sensitivity of the skin does increase .
Id the swelling is small , local application of anti-bacterial lotion like povidone iodine will help. If necessary take a small course of an antibiotic.
