Lymph Node?: It sounds most like a lymph node. If it's that big, I would recommend that you see a doc for thorough evaluation. Best of luck!

The ridge in between my thighs and my groin has this little bump that I can feel, never had it before, today, all of a sudden it just hurt randomly. Hoping its not ovarian cancer or cyst. Because the bump is not close to the ovaries. Thank you! ?
