Suggest treatment for purple lumps under the skin of inner thigh
Patient: I have a question.. over the past year i've been getting these like dark purple lumps under my skin on my inner thigh near the groin and sometimes i get these big bumps under my skin near the groin area on the inner thigh that if i squeeze them then it pecome hard and like there is a point on top that looks like its going to pop but it doesnt.. and yesterday i noticed a purple bump ontop of my skin on the inner thigh and today it was open and like half a centimeter deep.. i didnt pop it and i dont know what they r or what to do.. do you have any suggestions? Doctor: hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. the one near your groin area might be lymphadenopathies secondary to an infection or other pathology.  management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.hope this helps.good day!!~dr.kaye
