Have Small Meaty Growth In Inner Thigh. No Soreness And Pain. Grew Back After Removing. Reason?
Hi, I am Nick, and I have a question. I have this small meaty growth on my inner thigh that I have had for about 8 to 10 years. It does not hurt or get sore or anything at all, I wouldn't know it is there without looking at it. I had it removed once in Mexico but about a year later it began growing back again, very slowly. I am curious, what are your thoughts?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The small meaty growth on the inner thigh is likely to be a unpigmented mole. If there is no pain, increase in size, ulceration, irregular margins or bleeding at the site then there is nothing to worry. This is likely to be a benign swelling.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
