    Exclamation Ummm, what could this be???

    Just in my inner thigh...well more out towards the side like inner hip...side and front bikini line really lol I have this little ball!

    It's about 1cm around and it can move if I push it. Only side to side not up and down. It;s solid but it doesn't hurt.

    WTH is it?????

    I think only a Dr can tell you what it is but it could be a lipoma or a cyst.

    My Dh has that (or what sounds the same) he went to the Dr and it is called a Fatty Tumour. He was told as long as he can move it then it is fine. Still go to the Dr and get it checked out..

    Could it be an ingrown hair? I get the same "little ball" if i dont exfoliate after waxing!! - its not painful and moves around but (sorry this is gross!!) if i wait a few days and squeeze it, the ingrown hair pops out

    Is is under the skin? If so it sounds like a enlarged lymph node. Your body might be fighting off an infection.

    Probably not a good idea to play with it Best to get it checked out by a Dr.

    From what you are describing I have the exact same thing. Mine is actually on my bikini line. I have it looked at. They said it was a cebacious (sp?) cyst. I used to get them on my neck, I had the ones on my neck removed and will probably have this one removed at some stage as well. It's just that it is not in a convenient spot to do that without planning ahead Lol! A couple of times it flared up into a boil after having bikini waxing....ouch!
    Definitely get GP to look at though, just to make sure.

    Sounds like a fat deposit (fatty tumour) to me. Completely harmless. But best go to the GP and make sure

    hmmm...maybe im just the icky one!! - mine can get, erm, quite large

    another thought was maybe a sebaceous gland? - my dh has one at the base of his neck that he gets checked, but dr has said its nothing to worry about....

    It heard you talking about it lol

    Probably a lymph node then. The other ones don't usually go away by themselves. Any marks on your skin where it was?
