Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a previously itchy groin lump, I would come up with two or three possibilities as follows:

1. a resolving fungal infection or folliculitis

2. an infected sebaceous cyst or a dermatofibroma

3. a lymph node enlarged due to chronic skin infection in the local area

Please take caution not to get injured/infected there!

I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
