What Is The Cause Of An Itchy Lump On Inner Thigh?

Hello. Four months ago I've notice an itchy, red lump on my inner thigh & just few days went to my Dr and said maybe it was just an insect bite so I didn't buy the cream he prescribed me. I noticed that Everytime i get itchy on the part where the lump is and I don't even know that the lump is still there. It's like a round shape size & it feel hard inside. Any idea what this might be?

Hi. This is 4 months old you say.
No insect bite can last this long. This may be some kind of a reaction like fixed one,- Does not change position.
The treatment can better be done after a careful diagnosis by a Dermatologist.
Stop applying anything including the soaps as this may change the character and making a proper diagnosis difficult.
A gradually reducing dose of steroid and an anti-allergic tablets can help a lot.
Please discus this with your Doctor.
