Typically, over the upper inner thighs, there is an intensely itchy red raised rash with a scaly well-defined curved border. [3] [4] It is often associated with athlete's foot and fungal nail infections, excessive sweating, and sharing of infected towels or sports clothing. [4] [5] [6] It is uncommon in children. [4]
Diagnosis is typically based on examination. The ability to shine through the bump or any past decrease in size supports the diagnosis of the bump as a ganglion cyst. [4] Ganglion cysts are usually obvious upon observation. Medical imaging may be considered on infrequent occasions to rule out another diagnosis. [3] [4] Treatment is not necessary.

Mast cell tumors are known among veterinary oncologists as 'the great pretenders' because their appearance can be varied, from a wart-like nodule to a soft subcutaneous lump (similar on palpation to a benign lipoma) to an ulcerated skin mass. Most mast cell tumors are small, raised lumps on the skin. They may be hairless, ulcerated, or itchy.
