Along the line seperating my groin area from my thigh I noticed a lump. It s small about the size of a dime. Its located at the very upper end of that line on the thigh. It s a little discomforting, hard, and has produced some redness on my skin. I think its around the area where my pants may be situated when I wear a belt. Should I be concerned?
Hello! Thank you for the query. In mentioned location such lump can be an inguinal hernia, enlarged lymph nodes or any soft tissues lump including sebaceous cyst and lipoma. Hernia lump should be more visible when standing and coughing and less visible when lying down. Lymph nodes are usually hard, painless and movable. I suggest you to consult your doctor with this issue. There is no reason to be concerned however some basic diagnostics is necessary to rule the hernia and lymph nodes out. An ultrasound of this area should be helpful. Hope this will help. Regards.
