Cries. I'm shitting myself here. I know its probably nothing but its shitting me up.
I've found something very very strange at the top of my right thigh. I've only just noticed it after feeling uncomfortable whilst walking around town. I just assumed it was a shaving rash as I shaved last night.
I've found a big lump in the top of my leg. Its about the size of a very large grape. I can put my fingers around in and feel it. Its like a big ball. Its very very sore and my skin around it is very very red (but I'm guessing thats because my jeans kept rubbing against it. Its sticking out slightly too.
Cries.

If you are really worried phone nhs direct, they should be able to advise you or go see a pharmasist
I can't have been bitten to be honest. I've been wearing pants all the time.
I'm working all day tomorrow I can try and get an early appointment in the morning but I doubt I'll get one. You have to ring first thing in the morning to get one too.
If so, you have a gland there, and sometimes they can swell a bit if you have an infection somewhere or sometimes for not much reason at all.
Does it feel like something to do with the skin like a spot or infected sweatgland, or ingrown hair, or does it feel like a gland type thing?
Its about a cm down from that crease.
It feels like I should have a spot there if that makes any sense. The whole lump is very sore though. Its about the size of a large grape. This isn't a spot.
my mums friend developed an abcess between her bum and thigh while we were on holiday in florida, it got quite serious and she had to go to hospital to have it out. It was basically full of fluid. But i don't think its that.
Just have to see what the docs say.
Best to get it checked sooner rather than later though.
I know its easy to panic when you get a lump somewhere though.
Let us know how it goes.
I did this, parents rold me they thought it was a bruise. Turned out to be an infection from an ingrowing hair. Everyone at school who knew (students anyway) thought it was cancer...:yeees:
Managed to get an appointment at 9.15 though.
Will let you all know later. x
I got bitten on the sole of my foot during my sleep. Bastard bugs... still got a little lump there now, but it was a good square inch for the first couple of days!
I'm on antibiotics for 7 days. Hopefully it will be gone in a few days. It fuckin hurts.
Doctor told me its probably because I'm working so much that I got one :rolleyes:
:yes:
My mum gets them loads - I think some people are just more prone than others. But they're fine, once you get them treated, and she's only ever had a problem with one of them. And even then it was not exactly life or death.
The doctor said I've probably got it because I'm overworking and I'm so tired and run down lately.
