Understanding Leg Bumps: Causes, Symptoms & When to See a Doctor


Question
hi, i am a 15 year old male and 2 weeks ago i noticed a small, almost pimple sized, bump the upper part of my right leg on the inside near my thigh. i do not think its a pimple and it looks kind of weird. its reddish and hard to notice but is not level with the skin and is more elevated over. it does not hurt when i touch it but i do not know what it is and i don't know what to do.
please help me because i get kind of worried with these things.

Anthony..

Answer
Hi Anthony and thanks for writing,

Obviously it's difficult for me to guess, but it may be a clogged cyst. Cysts usually go away on there own, or they can be drained if they're bothersome. I recommend you go see your doctor if it doesn't clear up in a few days, or if it gets worse or seems infected.

Wishing you good health,
