Lump on my hip
16/f
I think it was Friday, and I was in the tanning bed. I was feeling around my hips, and I felt like a lump. But it moves around. Like first it will be like on my inner hip, but move out to the outer hip. Its right around my hip bone. Its mainly on the inner hip area. But I can move it to the outer. I asked my nursing teacher what it was, and she said she wasn't sure. When I first found it I started crying bc I thought it was cancer. But I really have no idea what it is. I showed my mom, and she said we'll get it checked out. My teacher said she thinks it might be a cyste(spelling)but she's really not sure. Any ideas??
Btw I play basketball, cheerlead, and do gymnastics. If that may help any?

it sounds like a cyst. there's no way you can tell by looking at it if it's cancer (and it is very likely NOT cancer). i actually have a cyst on my right wrist. i don't think your sports really have anything to do with it. go to a doctor and see about it. they'll probably tell you that it's a cyst. you can get it removed, but if it doesn't bother you or severely inhibit your health, then you can just leave it. i've had mine for five years.

No one on here can probably diagnose you, but it may be a cyst.
I would go to the doctors as soon as possible- because if it is something drastic, if the doctor catches it in time it can be taken care of.
Good luck!
