What Causes Skin Colored Bumps On The Thighs?

Hello, recently I noticed 3 round skin colored bumps on my thigh. On accident I scratched one and it got larger and turned a dark purple. It is now painful the touch. The other one rubs on my pants and is red but not as painful. The third one is still skin colored and not painful and the smallest. I am curious if I should worry about these or let them work themselves out

Hi, happy to help you on your health concern!

In the present case of skin-colored thigh bumps, if I were your consulting physician, I would just like to say, 'nothing to worry!'

As per your description, it is some benign harmless lesion like skin tag or common papilloma or some fibroepithelial polyp or in worse case these could be sebaceous cyts, neurofibroma or even a hemangioma also!

Take caution not to get injured there as this might invite infection.

If you are still worried, please get an FNAC test for confirmation and thereafter get examined by a surgeon or revert back to us.

Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries.

Wishing you the best health!
