There is a small lump slightly below my hip, should I worry?
Recently, about two months ago, I noticed a small, firm lump, about the size of a pea. The boarders are unidentifiable and it Has a slightly darker and more purple skin tone as the surrounding skin. It doesn't move, and it's not painful. It's about 3 centimeters away from my hip bone. I am fairly young, a teenager, and I have had my fair share of being rejected by my parents when asked if there is something wrong. Should I worry about this lump?
The bump is on my outer thigh, and about in the past week, it gets an ache when pressure is applied
Based on my limited experience (I'm an, almost, third year medical student in the US), this does not sound like it is anything to get very worried over.
You say 3 cm away from your hip bone.....where exactly is the bump? Near your groin? On your butt?
In either case, I really don't think its something to worry about.
