Avatar f tn A few weeks ago, I had to go to the hospital, and they noticed a small bump located on my upper right thigh. They tested me for MRSA, and the results were negative. For the past two days, I have started getting alot of pain in this area, and the bump is now massive and purple. Very sensitive to the touch. I had called the hospital, and they said it could be a boil or a cyst. I would just really like the pain to go away and know if I need to go get this checked out.
Avatar f tn I've had a lump on the back of my thigh for about 6 weeks now. Recently it's been causing a lot of pain and it has gotten bigger. It went from a pink color to black now. There is no discharge and I can't recall ever being bit. I've not felt very ill but have had headaches since the pain started and my sense of smell seems off and I have blood in my nose. Any ideas? I have a doctor appointment in a few days but am wondering if it seems urgent enough to go sooner.
Avatar f tn While inspecting out 12 yr old short hair husky cross he noticed a huge swollen bump on her inner thigh. It had a white head on it. He grabbed gauze and popped it, but you can still feel stuff in there and around it is very swollen. she doesn't seem to be in pain. she is rolling around in the grass right now..and she is walking and was swimming just fine. what could this be?
Avatar n tn From my recent research I think i may have a sebaceous cyst on my left inner thigh, next to my bikini line. I was just wondering how long I should try the warm compresses before I see a physician. It is slightly tender to the touch so I am a little worried it may be inflamed. Any comments would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn Further inspection revealed a very dark purple bruise on my upper inner thigh the size of an orange. The bruise is virtually gone at this point, but again today my butt cheek feels like I'm sitting on a bump. Whatever it is isn't topical. Thoughts? Time to worry??
Avatar f tn Hello. I had a biopsy on my right thigh about a week ago. They took three pieces of muscle to sample. It seems to be healing pretty well other than it is puffy/somewhat swollen around the incision still. Is this normal? Fluid?
Avatar m tn I have had antiboitic treatment for a carbuncle/infected sebaceous cyst on my thigh (i am having the remnants surgically excised in 2 months). This thigh lump came up two months before this lump on my bum cheek. Do you have any idea what this could be? Could it be connected to the carbuncle/cyst on my thigh? They are quite far apart but on the same side.... but the carbuncle/cyst is healing nicely now. Both lumps have occurred in hairy areas of skin that are susceptible to friction.
Avatar n tn I have a big bump on my inner right thigh it hurts and it is swollen I was woundering can you tell me what it is
Avatar m tn Hello Recently I have had two surgeries to remove an abscess in my groin/left thigh. The First operation occurred two weeks before the second. I'm now 8 days post second op and the wound is healing well and I thought all was going to be ok but the nurse who comes daily to pack and redress my wound is very concerned about the large approx 8cm long hard lump that surrounds the wound. She applied pressure and squeezed it alot yesterday and now the whole region is painful again.
Avatar f tn Is this similar to the bump you get on the inner inner thigh? If so it should go away but idk. Is it serious?

Avatar f tn My 12 yr old husky cross had a huge bump on her inner thigh today. It had a large white head on it. my bf got gause and peroxide and popped it and cleaned it. He said it still feels like that is stuff in it, and the area around the bump is swollen. She seems normal, no pain at all not even when touching the area. She was swimming today, running around, playing, rolling the grass and she is eating, urinating, and pooping just fine.
Avatar f tn I have been to four doctors, including an infectious disease specialist, no one knows what it is. Last October this large knot appeared on my bikini line, right where the thigh ends, it was a discomfort, but it never did anything. My OB/GYN, who the month before removed my ovarian cyst, thought nothing of it and didn't want to open it since it didn't have a head. November, I get my general doctor to lance it. It's 90% blood, test results show nothing abnormal.
Avatar n tn I have a lump on my inner thigh and it is about the size of a dime but,it keeps getting smaller then bigger and it is a bit discolored like a purple brown and it hurts only when it rubs on my pants or when i touch it. thanks.
Avatar m tn I now have this zit/abscess/boil on my groin area. Not on testicles or on penis but on the side of by thigh and groin joint area. It is painful when touched. And i have thigh pain too. But i started having thigh pain after I masturbated yesterday. For the past few months i have been having trouble with over masturbation. So i feel a mild pain on the left side of my thigh and inner thigh. Can this boil be genital herpes?
Avatar f tn I have a large red bump on my inner thigh that's quite painful, it acually makes my muscle hurt for some reason. I've come up with a few conclusions but hope to get some input. 1) it could be foliculitis, an infected hair folicle 2) an infected gland 3) spider bite I've attached this pic for diagnosis. I tried popping it thinking it was a zit but it just inflamed it more.
Avatar m tn I noticed a growth inbetween my testicles and my upper thigh. on the left side. it is about the size of a silver dollar. it feels like a rubber ball. and it does not move. like its attched to something. and it does not hurt. what could it be ?
Avatar f tn I am 16 years old and about 2 yaers ago I randomly got this sore on my vagina flap, it was really itchy and sore it would bleed and pus would come out it eventually got bigger and it's on the inner side of my thigh as well.. It's really embarrassing and really painful but I don't want to say anything to anyone! I can feel something joining up from my vagina to my thigh under my skin and I've got a scar from it too..

Avatar m tn Ive been, for the last 2 weeks, having some pain/sensaions on the inside of my left thigh. (the abscess is on the left side of my perineum) and some odd pain/sensations in my penis. This has been pretty much constant for the last month+. For a little bit after my risk, my wife had an itchy vulva, not constant but usually between her periods. No other symptoms. She stopped taking her birth control and it subsided. Today she has a sore throat, says its pretty bad.
Avatar f tn Hi and thanks for your comment! Would an abscess be noticeable on the skin's surface, such as a rash/boil or have puss? I have nothing of the sort and my skin looks fine other than the slight bruising and the mass.
Avatar f tn 9 days after finishing the treatment that made me incredibly sick, I developed ANOTHER abscess on my right buttock that is causing pain in the hip, lower back and entire right leg. I can hardly walk, the pain is making me vomit, and I am at my wit's end!!!! Tomorrow PM I am going to the ER once again to have this one drained too. I can not deal with this pain almost every week, my insurance is pissed and I'm just exhausted(I can't sleep while I have these.
Avatar m tn Judging by your description, it is most likely a fistula which is a tract that forms from the abscess of your infected tooth that escapes out to the gums. As long as the fistula in intact, your abscess can drain and slow down the spread of the abscess but if the fistula closes up, the abscess can spread rapidly through your face or neck area. I would recommend seeing a dentist and getting treatment started.
