Suggest Treatment For Lump In The Leg
I have a hard dime sized bump in the crease of my leg near my pelvic area. It doesn t hurt and doesn t seem irritated. I ve never had this before and am a little freaked out. I do however have cysts along my jaw line and was wondering if it could possibly be the same thing?

Hi
Welcome to hcm
This may be enlarged lymph node/gland or hernia. You have to show it to your surgeon since without actually seeingits very defficult to definatively tell the diagnosis. Hernia lump reduces or goes off on laying down and becomes prominant on coughing while lymph node remains same size and it is more firm/hard compaired to hernia. I dont think it has any corelation to your jaw line lumps unless they were also enlarged lymph nodes.
Regards.
