Brief Answer:
Not liekly to be prominent inguinal ligament.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
An inguinal ligament is not likely to hypertrophy like this. This is more likely to be a muscle. It will be better if you could upload a close up picture of that area in the box provided on the right hand side of the query page. Since there is no pain or a recent sudden increase in the swelling there is no need to panic. This minor bulge can be a physiological variation.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
