Question 1

my boyfriend has a small lump on his groin area. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Few things: It could be a sebaceous cyst, the beginning of an abscess formation, a palpable lymph node.  Regardless, it should definitely be examined by a physician, probably not immediately (especially if it's been there for a while), but at least in the next 1-2 weeks. Best of luck.

Question 2

what does it mean if you have a small lump in the groin area, it is also sore?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked out: It is most likely a small lymphnode or a cyst, but bacterial infection with klebsiella ganulomatis is possible, often starts as small, painless nodules appearing after  10–40 days following contact with the bacteria. Later the nodules burst, creating open, fleshy, oozing, and infection continues to destroy the tissue until treated. Not to scare u, but should consult doc if worsens. Good luck.

Question 3

i have a small lump in the groin area and i have no pain or anything. is there home remedies or would i have to visit a hospital?

Accepted Answer

Lymph node: It probably is a small lymph node and could have occurred because you had a little pimple in the area. It should gradually resolve and disappear

Question 5

i have a small lump in groin area that hurts to touch.i first had it about a year ago but it used to appear before period and disapear after 3, 4 days

Question 6

i have small lump in my groin area its in red color and warm and also have a pimple head. what will be it?

Accepted Answer

An abscess: Sounds like you are describing an abscess... an infection caused by a bacteria that causes a collection of pus under the skin - often painful, red, inflamed.  See your local physician to confirm diagnosis and obtain the appropriate antibiotic for treatment. The physician may incise the area and drain it for faster and more effective treatment.

Question 7

i have a lump on my groin area (female). not painful and doesnt feel like a swollen lymph node. very soft and moveable. could this be a lipoma? i have other lipomas as well so i know im prone to them but are they common in the groin area?

Accepted Answer

: Lipomas can occur in the groin area. An other item to consider would be a hernia. It would be prudent to see your doctor for evaluation.
Wish you good health!

Question 8

small lump in groin area that appears to have moved from left inner thigh area to base of penis. general discomfort and no pain when urinating. ?

Accepted Answer

Lymph node : Lymph node in the groin is common. If it is greater than 2 cm then it can be concerning.  Your question is best addressed with an in-person examination

Question 9

hi there,

over the last 5 months i've lost around 30 lbs of weight. as my body is slimmer, i noticed a small lump in my groin area about 4/5 inches below belly button. i'm not sure if it was there and i did not notice because of the extra fat. either way, did some research and have narrowed down symptom to inguinal hernia. scheduled appointment with personal care doctor but it is not until september. should i see an urgent care sooner?

inguinal hernia, how urgent to see doctor?

Accepted Answer

Hernia?: If it does not hurt gather no urgency.  If you have lost weight without trying I would wonder if it is an enlarged lymp node? Check both inguinal areas.  If on both sides not likely a hernia.

Question 10

please help! what is this lump beside my groin area (female)?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities: Without an exam it is hard to answer your question. It could be - a hernia, a swollen lymph node, an abscess, a lipoma, a cyst - to name a few possibilities. See your doctor for a proper evaluation.
