Suggest Treatment For A Lump In The Groin Area

I have a lump in my groin area next to my vagina area on one side. I noticed it a couple of weeks ago, it is about an 1" long by 1/2" across and is very firm. I had some hip nerve type pain in the beginning, but not any longer. At first I thought it was a clogged pore type thing and squeezed it very hard and it did have some clear liquid, but not anything much and had a spot of blood after I squeeze it. Now it is just a hard lump and seems to be staying the same size. It came on quite quickly when I first noticed it. Any suggestions as to what this could be? Thank you for your time.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump in the groin area. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like folliculitis , hydrocele , inguinal hernia , allergic reaction , lipoma and STD .I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically by palpating the area check the tenderness and consistency , doctor may also take sample for lab test . Doctor may also order ultrasound . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis along with corticosteroid ointment . Doctor may also recommend surgical excision or liposuction in case of lipoma. I would suggest you to take proper rest , apply warm compresses on groin area and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
