What Causes Painful Lump In The Groin?

I have a knot about the size of a half dollar in the skin between my abdomen and where it connects to my leg on he right side. It is a little sore on one side of the knot. The knot is a little pink in clot. I first thought it might be an infected hair, but my husband said it doesn t look like that is the cause.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful lump in the groin. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like swollen lymph gland , hernia sexually transmitted infections or saphena varix. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically and check for tenderness and consistency , take sample for lab test and prescribe antibacterial or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis . Doctor may also prescribe anti inflammatory and vitamin supplement for quick healing . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminopehn for pain and apply warm compresses .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
