lump on thigh

[renee84]

Not sure if I am posting in right section here! ok well ever since I had our little man I have developed a lump on my inner thigh up near my bikini line. Basically it's about 2cm long and bout 1/2 cm wide. It's pretty sore to touch still and is bruising. Anyone know what this could be? TIA

Hi Renee,

I had to see my GP about something that sounds exactly the same as this during the week!

I had one on the side of my tummy, but now have quite a lot of them all over my shins just this week.

They feel like a bruise, but they're more red - Kind of like if you've been bitten by something (like the poison inside you I guess)...

He has sent me for blood tests, thinking its Erythema Nodosum... if you google it, you can see if it sounds like you.
Its quite common in pregnancy - I think with elevated oestrogen levels, amongst other things.

Have a read and see if it sounds like you, anyway!

I'm waiting on blood results to see if thats what it is!!

Good Luck

Love Holly
