What Causes Painful Lump In Pelvic Area?
I have a painful lump in my pelvic area by the crease on my right leg. It hurts when pressed on &it's maybe the size of a gobstopper.
I do shave that area.
I'm 17 years old.
I am sexually active and have had only one partner.
I am very worried it may be something of concern..

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
If the lump has appeared in the area when you do shave, hair follicle inflammation is the most probable reason. Due to hair shaving, sometimes bacteria get into hair follicle. This causes pus accumulation and abscess formation. Such abscess is very painful and hard.
The best treatment of such lump is an incision and pus drainage. I suggest you to consult a surgeon.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
