If the patient is unable to judge by himself/herself, he/she can prioritize the dermatology consultation; if the dermatology problem is excluded, he/she can go to other departments such as orthopedics and general surgery according to the doctor’s suggestion.
1. Dermatology: If the hard lumps at the root of thighs protrude from the skin surface and are located in superficial positions, such as the epidermis or dermis, it is considered to be a skin disease, such as folliculitis, localized cysts, fibroma, etc., which can be consulted in the dermatology department.
2. Orthopedics: hard lumps on the root of the thigh do not exclude that they are related to the femur root or hip joint lesions, such as bone tumors, etc. They can go to orthopedics, and make a clear diagnosis through imaging examination, and then carry out treatment.
3. General Surgery: hard lumps at the root of thigh cannot be excluded to be related with local subcutaneous lipoma or enlarged lymph nodes, etc., and can also go to General Surgery Department, combined with physical examination and imaging examination, to make a clear diagnosis.
It is recommended that patients with hard lumps at the base of the thigh go to the hospital in time to consult a professional doctor.
