Purple Lump On Inner Thigh. White Bumps Around Pubic Hair. How To Remove Them?
Hi, i just noticed a small lump on my inner thigh, near the crease between my testicles and right leg. It does not stick out of the skin. I am feeling it, and it seems to be only swollen on the inside. It is about the size of a fingertip. It is light purple in color, and doesn t really hurt. I also have white bumps surrounding my pubic hair follicles, but those are most likely just pores. please help!

Hye! Small white bumps would be molluscum contagiosum, a viral infection. And bump on inner thigh may be enlarged lymphnode. You go to nearby dermatologist, he may remove it by electrocautery or cryo cautery, along with antibiotic, anti inflammatory drugs. And he may give treatment , for prevention.... Ok
