HelloI have an ingrown lump on the outside of my thigh. It has been there for months now, its almost the size of a small coin. It does not hurt but it sticks out of the surface of the skin and I can feel the bump from the outside. It looks like a small bruise now as it turned brown over the months. I went to see my doctor and the doctor told me not to worry because it was a benign lump. I wanted  your opinion because I feel like the doctor was rushing and did not spend to much time inspecting the lump. Thank you,I will await your reply
Hello! Thank you for the query. It is very hard to tell not seeing it. Generally if it's not a mole, most likely it's a benign lesion (from your description it sounds like a fibrous). Skin lesions (which are not mole like) are mostly benign, and even skin malignant lesion (skin cancer) is nothing to worry about as it acts like a benign lesion (skin cancer rarely gives metastases). The best you can do is to consult dermatologist, have it removed and checked under a microscope. Hope this will help. Regards.
