What Causes Painful Lump On Outer Thigh?
hi, i have a small lump on my outer upper thigh, it was small at first and believed it was an insect bite but it has gotten bigger within the past 3 months about an inch in circumference. When I press down it hurts a little and it feels deep down (not just at the surface). Should this cause alarm and what could it possibly be?

Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
It's difficult to diagnose without examining, but with your description I advise you to get FNAC done.its a simple OPD procedure.If it was insect bite it would have reduced by now.As your swelling is growing better to visit doctor for proper diagnosis.
Thank you
