hello dear
thanks for your query at hcm.
Hard knot near inner thigh might be due to lymph node enlargement.
Lymph node swelling occurs if there is any infection or inflammation in the region.
It will decrease once primary cause has been cured.
If not decreasing a course of antibiotics might be necessary for cure.
