A member asked:

I have a bump around my groin. its reddish and soft on the top but tender on the bottom. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: Groin lumps can be caused by infected lymph nodes, enlarged non-infected lymph nodes, skin cysts, abscesses in the skin, etc... A bigger lump might even be a hernia. One's primary care doctor can evaluate to see what it might be, and offer advice on treatment or testing.
