"What Should I Do About Bumps on the Inner Side of My Thighs?"

Visit the hospital for an examination if you have bumps on the inner side of your thighs to determine the specific cause and receive targeted treatment.

There are many reasons for bumps on the inner side of the thighs, which may be folliculitis, tinea cruris, or enlarged lymph nodes. Different diseases require different treatment methods. To prevent the condition from worsening, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

Reasons for bumps on the inner side of the thighs:

1. Folliculitis

If the bumps on the inner side of the thighs are accompanied only by pain, they are generally caused by folliculitis due to bacterial infection. This is mostly caused by long-term moisture or sweat irritation of the local skin. The main manifestation is red papules centered on the hair follicles, accompanied by itching and pain.

2. Tinea Cruris

In addition to bumps, the inner side of the thighs may also have other symptoms such as scaling and itching. This is generally caused by fungal infection, known as tinea cruris. Tinea cruris often occurs in areas of the skin that are moist and sweaty. It is a skin disease caused by fungal infection and can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact.

3. Enlarged Lymph Nodes

Enlarged lymph nodes in the groin area can also lead to bumps on the inner side of the thighs. This is usually due to pathological changes in local nerves, blood vessels, or muscles. Timely anti-infective treatment is needed under the guidance of a doctor. If the inflammation is severe, intravenous injection may also be required.
