What Causes Lump On The Thigh With Purple Colour?
I have a small hard pea sized lump on the back of my thigh, which is a slightly discoloured (purple), it s been there for about 6months and does not hurt at all. When should you worry about lumps on the skin? I thought it might be an ingrown hair but surely that would hurt? There is no sign of infection.

It is better to get this removed (excised) for 2 reasons.
1> your get rid of the disease and
2> you get the histopathological diagnosis- makes you tension-free..
