Depends on location: The possible reasons for a lump in the groin area are multiple. This could be a local infection (skin infection), a systemic disease (malignancy or viral infection) or an anatomical reason (femoral or inguinal hernia). Your primary care physician will need to examine the lump to determine characteristics and see if additional testing or empiric treatment or watchful waiting is indicated.
