What Could Bump On Inner Thigh Growing With Irritation?

Hi. I have an elevated skin like bump on my inner thigh. Soft and round....pimple like. I have had it for 2 years. It grows bigger when irritated, like if I keep touching and pulling on it. Iv never tried to pop it. It s never painful only when irritated then its painful. Every month when I go on my periods it gets irritated from being in contact with the pad.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From the history, the skin like bump on your inner thigh seems like a papilloma, a benign growth from the skin. Even though it could be harmless, it could grow gradually bigger and due to any kind of chronic irritation, might get infected as well causing more trouble and pain. I would suggest you to get it assessed by a general surgeon, and get it removed by him if advised to avoid further growing up of the lump due to chronic irritation.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
