Hello there! For the last couple of months I have had a lump in my left groin. It is pretty hard, it looks like a knot, and it hurts a little bit when I press it hard. It is too big to be an ingrown hair, and I can’t think of anything else. I am not sick and haven’t been for quite some time. So, what could this be then?

Hi there! I have been asking myself the same question for the last 3 years. I have two or three of these swollen lumps on both sides of my groins. Sometimes, they get inflamed, and I actually don’t know if it is them that are inflamed. Whenever I go to a gyno, they say it is nothing, so I just got used to them. That certainly doesn’t mean you should do the same. If it continues to bother you, go and have yourself checked.

It's not a hernia?

i have just noticed a lump in my groin area on the left side a little bit bigger than a dime. it is tender and has a bit of swelling. i am a really clean person and i know i haven't been bit because there is no color to it. can anyone help as to what this is. i am not sick or anything but just got over bronchitis and sinusitis. does that have anything to do with it. i may be pregnant as well.

It think it could have something to do with bronchitis and sinusitis because lymph nodes usually become swollen and tender when there is an inflammation near by. Ok, in your case, it is not as near. What’s the lump like? Is it hard, soft, moveable or not?

I have had one for ages on the left side of the groin. A gynecologist just told me it’s an inflammation like any other and a dermatologist told me to come again when it gets inflamed and big. I keep thinking it’s an ingrown hair but this lump is way to long . It hurts when I press it hard.

fool you might have cancre go and go to the local gp and ask to have a full bc and fwbc to rule out infection then ask for a biopsey to rule out cancer

Was wondering if any of you have been to doc yet. I got a lump years ago and went to both gyno and dermotologist. Concensus was fatty nodule. No pain no change. Then woke up today and it was painful, larger, harder, and now oozing a little clear fluid. I have been feeling ill for several days but never noticed such a marked change before. Am of course in process of waiting for approval on new health insurance so don't want to rush to doc right now. Thanks for any feedback. It's NOT genital warts.

its probably just an inflammation of your lymph node. take some anti-inflammatory meds. and maybe some anti-biotics. if it doesnt go away in a couple of days, see a doctor.

I just had a hard lump removed from my groin area. It started out as an ingrown hair, but left for too many years. It turned into scar tissue, and I ended up needing 3 stitches in the cut.
All good now...
