I have a growth of some sort on my right upper thigh. I have had it for sometime but it s getting a little bigger and it now hurts. I am not sure what kind of physician I need to see or what I may have. It s not hard, I don t feel a lump but it s a Lethe mass
Hello, I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns. As per your description it seems that you have a lipoma over your thigh. It is a benign (non-cancerous) condition and can be cured easily. But we have to rule other condition by physical examination and investigations. You have to consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. Surgeon will perform a clinical examination to make a diagnosis. If it is diagnosed as a lipoma simple excision of the lump is performed. If there is any diagnostic confusion. A biopsy may be needed. In which a portion of the swelling is taken and examined under the microscope to make a diagnosis. As of now you can take simple analgesics like ibuprofen for pain. Hope I have answered your query. Wishing you good health. Regards. Chat Doctor.
