A 32-year-old male asked:

My bf has a lump on the inside crease of his leg near his groin, it's egg sized and aches whenever he's been active... any advice as to what it is?

See doctor: It could be an abscess. He should get it checked our.

Go to hospital now: Your boyfriend needs to be examined by his family doc (gp in gb) to determine what's going on. The lump could be a swollen lymph node, abscess (pus pocket), or even an inguinal hernia. Each diagnosis requires different treatment so it's imperative that rather than have someone guess (w/o examination from across the pond) that he get examined by his local family doc.
