Are Soft Red Squishy Lumps Above The Groin Area Hernia Related?

I am an overweight (220lbs)18 year old women in college and I noticed a pain under my stomach that didn t seem to be a big deal at first. It s a small squishy/soft bump in line with my lower stretch marks, above my groin area. It s red in color with purple at the peak of bump about the size of a dime. There s another small squishy bump next to it as well. I notice whenever I wear underwear I feel mild discomfort and irritation. Even without immediate contact it is uncomfortable. I looked only and saw mention of a hernia? But I don t want to jump to conclusions

Hello,

As per the narration of red squishy with a tender area of the lump, it is not related to hernia for sure. Either it can be post inflammatory lump or pimple with infection.

If you can provide a photo picture of the same in follow up a conversation if there is no objection, I can further focus precisely on this issue to guide at my best level.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
