    Lumps on thighs.
    My husband has had small lumps under the skin on his upper thighs for many years. They don't hurt him and he won't go to the doctor. He seems very healthy (except for diabetes that he controls with pills and diet). Should I try to force him to get these lumps checked (it will be difficult) or just let him go. They have been there for so long that he feels they are no problem! What should I do??

    They may be nothing more than sebaceous cysts, but due to his diabetic condition should be checked into. You say he won't go to the doctor, what does he do about his diabetes? Does he not get his regular diabetic check ups? If he does, it can most likely be brought up at his next visit.

    I've had those lumps just about all my life. They aren't noticeable but I can feel them. I have at least 15. Never had them checked but I think if it were anything bad I would have known by now.
