What Could Be The Small Lump?

I have a small lump on the inside of my groin right where the crease of where my thigh meets the hip. It is only on one side. I don't know what it is. It is mildly uncomfortable. I think it may be an abscess from an ingrown hair due to shaving my bikini line. What do I do?

Hi.
You are a bit right.
The lump you described is a lymph node and appeared due to infection in the drainage area.
It is always advisable to have a course of an antibiotic to avoid further growth and turning it into an abscess.
