I found a lump in my hip area on my bikini line. it has grown in the past week and it just recently started becoming uncomfortable. my whole leg has gotten a little sore. it is doesnt hurt as much as in is uncomfortable. is it possible it could be a tumor or something. i am a 20 year old female.
Any new lump which has increased in size needs to be investigated. It may turn out to be benign or due to an infection but malignant cancer is always a possibility. Imaging with ultrasound, a radiograph and a fine needle aspiration for cytological examination may be required. Please consult your doctor.
