I have a lump on the inside of my thigh, it is hard and painless, about the size of a chick pea. It is located almost near my testicles and is painless but does not feel fluid filled. I noticed it about four days ago and it has not changed in size. Today I monitored the area and found a zit on my other inner thigh area. What do you think it could be? Is it cancerous or not? I have been wearing down my mind thinking about it. Oh and also I have been spending a lot of time working out in sweaty underwear and wearing wet bathing suits for a long time. Thanks for reading this.

But you haven't gone to a doctor to find out what it was yet why?

Seriuously... if its something that could even remotely be cancer... why would you NOT go see a doctor?

I cannot because I am
Going to wait and see if it gets bigger and my parents won't let me not yet anyway they said to monitor it, I am really ing scared because it could be numerous monstrosities that I am giving time to develop.

Nobody can guess because we can't see you... or even know what country you live in... as there are some scary parasites in some parts of the world.

Or it might be an inflamed gland... honestly there is some many things it might be... and none of which we can even guess via the internet.

okay I am going to give you a lot of details. I live in the US and I am 17. I am a middle class kid and live in a very dry region of
The southern US. The bump itself feels hard and not fluid filled and has not grown at all. It has no color and virtually painless except when I touch it it gives the indication that it is there.

Might be nothing more than in inflamed gland... don't know why they won't take you now... but like they said... if it gets worse tell them

Most of the freaky paracites like botflys etc won't apply to you being in the USA.

Being you are only 17... cancer is going to be far less likely than if you was a lot older...

But that's nothing more than a wild guess. Nobody can diagnose over the internet. Keep an eye on it and you are likely spazzing out for no reason... it might even go away on its own... but like I said... if it gets larger or painful... tell your parents to take you to a doctor.

Thanks and how will I know if it gets bigger because its so small right now that I have to feel around for it and sometimes I lose track of it?

If its thaat small... don't sweat it... but Chickpeas are fairly sizable and something that big would be easy to find...

Okay I can actually find it now its about the size of a pea

smoothy · Jun 18, 2013, 12:54 PM

Might even be nothing if it's that small... I'm sure I can find some glands that size if I felt around on my body...

Lol. I first noticed it in the shower when I had like a zit like rubbing irritation in my groin and put a hand down there and wazaam a mother trucking bump comes out of nowhere and I play hockey and so my mom told me it may be a boil and put a warm towel on it but I didn't listen. Mum is right most of the time and I shouldn't have neglected her. This morning I sent her a picture of the zit on my other thigh but that ones near the anus and is really a zit because it has a white head and red body around it. I guess I just have to start taking care of myself.

Zits or boils make themselves pretty obvious after a few days... you might still get them even if you wash well every day... you are at that age group where you are most likely to get them, but you won't get as many if you do take proper care.
