Question : I have a dime sized lump in the crease of my hip and leg. It is not sore nor inflamed. It is kind of spongy

Brief Answer:
Probably a lipoma.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. From your description of the lump, this is most likely to be a lipoma. This is a fatty lump and is not a serious problem. If it is not bothering you then it can be left alone. If you wish to have it removed then I suggest you see your doctor.
I hope this is of help. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger
