Lump on inner thigh

Lump on inner thigh

Yesterday I noticed a hard, pea-sized lump on my right inner thigh about an inch away from my vagina. It is sore to the touch and slightly redder than the surrounding area. I do not shave in that area and I have never had sex. I am also only fifteen. Any ideas what this may be? My thoughts are that it might be a cyst or swollen lymph node, going by what I have researched on the internet. Please help!

Hi and thanks for using the forum.

This sounds like either a sebaceous cyst or a swollen lymph node.  If it is painful and bothersome, you could try some warm soaks to the area.  IF it does not resolve after a few days, or if it worsens, you could have your regular doctor check it out.   Good luck.
