Cause Of Fluid-filled Lumps On Inner Thigh?
i have a lump on my inner thigh, I could not see a head to it, but when I pressed it, a lot of water came out, literally squirting like a small water gun. I looked completely clear. I am 40 years old. I recently had another lump similar under my arm pit, but I stuck it with a needle and a lot of pus came out, but this one on my inner thigh is just water. what could this be? 6' tall 265 pounds

HI. One of the lumps has clear water and the other has pus.
The one on the thigh might have been just a seroma inside or a lymph vessel might have been ruptured into in giving a clear fluid.
Most probably it can just be an extravasion of body fluid to a reaction and giving a clear fluid.
I think you need to take antibiotics.
If the thing does not resolve within a few days , consult a Doctor.
