What Does Growth Protruding On Inside Of Inner Thigh Indicate?

On the inside of my right inner thigh, I have a growth protruding out about an inch. All in all, it s the same shape as a clamshell, maybe two inches long and about an inch deep. It does not hurt, it does not itch but the odor leaves something to be desired. All along the edges of it, are white. And it bleeds alot.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms can be related to a folliculitis which is an infection of the follicle. I suggest using warm compresses for local application.
I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I recommend to cover it with an antibiotic cream such as Neosporin cream.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
