This is where your lymph nodes are... A painful bump can be a sign of a cancer called lymphoma. I would definetly get this checked by a doctor. Learn more about it at cancer.org.

OMG never squeeze especially blind boils abcess you need antibiotics or the need lancing ..

I had lump come up my inner groin actually today 24 th Feb luckly it was the very day had appointment hospital to see a bowel surgeon .He wasn't sure because way down in my groin size of a marble .I was thinking cyst abcess or worse .I then thought anuerisym.

I'm phoning my GP tommorow .asap..I have been trying to find out on here is a aneuriysm hard but cant find any answer . I had my appendics out last September and have been in pain ever since Im at my wits end because had my op 4 onths ago in pain and had to wait to see the surgeon a bit of a joke and been taken by ambulance 3 times now.All tests come back normal except for my diviculitus flare ups or uti infections .

Hello people - this might be an answer for some of you.

I had a strange lump that started off very small right on the crease where underwear sits. I didn't think anything of it for months untill randomly it grew large enough that I could barely walk, and it hurt sortof like when you put pressure on a bruise. The doctor at the clinic told me to go to the hospital to get it drained.

I went to the hospital, and they told me it was from shaving. The tissue there is soft, and the razor can cause small nicks where bacteria gets in. They put me under procedural anesthetic (mild stuff) which I reccommend because I've heard the draining is very painful otherwise.

If you have a lump similar to what I had (uncomfortable and getting worse) you most likely need it drained. If you wait a long time it will get worse and more infected because the infection has nowhere to go unless it is released. Antibiotics will not reach it because your body has isolated it the infection in the lump.

I think the same problem can be caused by ingrown hairs or any kind of cut/damage in that area.

Hope this helps!

I have one on my upper right leg, and previously on my hair area in my groin. It feels like a domino under the skin. It is hard and it moves around. I know it is not a boil because I have had plenty of them. Boils pop and ooze. These don't. Both of them I had were domino like. Any guesses?

Honestly, it sounds like you may have a Hernia. I'm not a doctor or anything, just understand the location of the pain from experience. Check it out.

It's a boil and should start to drain in a few days if it doesn't see your doctor so he can drain it. Once it starts to drain it will start to heal.

Im a 22 year old male i have had a cyst on my tail bone off and on for about 5 years, also about 2 years ago i started getting cyst on my inner thigh some closer to the groin area some a little more down my leg, i am not overweight maybe a couple lbs but im not fat.. i have had the cyst on my tail bone drained and packed one time 4 years ago and i will tell you the pain after was worse then the pain its self... best way to cure this and trust me i know from expierence hot baths and pop them on your own if you think they can be popped, if they are under the skin and it doesnt apper to want to drain the best way to take care of it is to have your primary doctor run you on a corse of amox/k clav 875 also known as augmentin if you take 2 tablets everyday for 7 days it will go away but do not be surprised when it comes back...

Did u ever fix this problem ?! Because i have one right now and it hurts really bad

I have also gotten a cyst in the same place why is there no help here. This hurts like crazy i can barely walk let alone sit!

Hope this helps, i have a lump that apeared in just 1day What Is a Groin Lump? A groin lump refers to any lump that appears in the groin area—where the legs and trunk connect. The lump can vary in shape and size, and may be painful or not. Some lumps appear on their own, while others appear as a collection of lumps. Some lumps may be mobile. A groin lump may remain skin-colored, or could turn red or purple. Some groin lumps may ulcerate (break open), or form sores. The shape and appearance of a groin lump depends on the cause of the lump. Any groin lump that develops should be assessed by a doctor as soon as possible. What Are the Causes of a Groin Lump? Many groin lumps are cysts, benign (non-cancerous) lumps that cause no harm. However, some groin lumps can be indicators of a more serious condition. Swollen Glands If you have an infection or illness, such as a cold, flu or mononucleosis, your groin lump could be a swollen lymph gland. Typically, these will flare up at the same time as the lymph glands located in your throat and armpits. Your lymph nodes swell to remove bacteria and foreign particles, and will return to normal once the illness has passed. Hernia A hernia occurs when the intestines or abdominal tissue pokes through an opening in a muscle wall or ligament meant to provide a boundary. For example, the intestines may break through a weakened area in the lower abdominal wall. This usually occurs due to a defect or weakness in the abdominal wall coupled with muscle strain. Hernias require urgent medical attention. They typically feel like large, soft lumps. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Some sexually transmitted infections (STI) can cause groin lumps due to swollen lymph nodes. These include herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhoea. Some STIs may cause a cluster of lumps that may ulcerate (break open) or form sores. STIs require medical attention to heal. Saphena Varix If you have a groin lump that disappears when you lie down, it could be a saphena varix. This occurs when the valve of the saphenous vein fails to open correctly to let blood flow through, causing the blood to collect inside the vein. Saphena varix causes golf-ball sized lumps that have a blue tinge. You are more likely to suffer from this condition if you have varicose veins, or an enlarged vein. This is an extremely rare condition. How Is a Groin Lump Treated? A groin lump cannot be treated at home. You should seek medical attention as soon as possible after noticing the lump, and return to the doctor if the lump remains after three weeks of treatment. Medical Care Because there are so many possible causes of a groin lump, your doctor will need to ask you a series of questions. This will include questions about your current health and if you have been suffering from any other symptoms. You may have a blood test to check for signs of infection, and the doctor will feel your lymph nodes for inflammation. You will also be asked questions about the lump itself. These will include: When did the lump first appear?How big is the lump?Has the lump grown in size?Did the lump develop suddenly or over a few days?Does the lump change in size or shape when you cough (this could indicate a hernia)? You may also be asked whether you could have contracted an STI. Most STIs are diagnosed using a blood test, a urine test, or a swab of the urethra. The treatment you receive will depend on the cause of the groin lump. Cysts may be surgically removed if they are large or painful. A hernia will require surgery to move the tissue back into place and close the hole in the boundary tissue. Swollen glands will typically go down in time, though you may be prescribed an antibiotic to help your body fight the underlying infection. What Is the Outcome if Groin Lumps Are Left Untreated? Your doctor should always promptly examine a groin lump. While cysts and swollen glands are not likely to cause any long-term complications, a hernia can be fatal if not treated quickly. An incarcerated herniaoccurs when part of the intestine becomes trapped in the abdominal wall, causing a bowel obstruction. This can lead to vomiting, severe pain, and nausea. A strangulated hernia is a medical emergency. It occurs when part of the intestine is trapped, cutting off blood flow. This condition can quickly lead to tissue death, and requires emergency surgery. Sexually transmitted infections that cause groin lumps, such as gonorrhoea and chlamydia, can lead to infertility if left untreated. Infections such as syphilis can cause blindness, paralysis, and dementia. All sexually transmitted diseases require medication to treat, and can easily be passed on to others through unprotected vaginal or oral sex. How Can a Groin Lump Be Prevented? Most groin lumps occur naturally and cannot be prevented. However, sexually transmitted infections can be avoided by always using a condom. If you are at risk of developing a hernia, you may be able to reduce the chances of it occurring by avoiding heavy lifting, not straining during bowel movements, and maintaining a healthy weight. You may be more at risk of a hernia if you have a family history of hernias, are overweight or pregnant, or have a chronic cough. Written by Kati Blake Medically Reviewed by George Krucik,
