What Causes A Hard And Painful Lump On Inner Thigh?

It doesnt go away wwhen i lie down. I am concerned whether its femoral hernia or not. i have no fever, vomitting or any other thing. by the way the day this lump appeared, the area around it was completely red and painful. but since yesterday the lump size has decreased a little bit, and the redness has disappeared. Can you please help me with it ? thanks in advance, im scared to go to any physician and have a checkup
