I have a lump on my pelvic/pubic area which i thought was a pimple but hasn't gone away. what else could it be?

Specializes in Pediatrics

Depends: How long has it been there. Where exactly is it? It could be a cyst - which needs to be removed surgically. It could be a lymph node - indicates infection in the area. It could be scar tissue from a former pimple in that area.
