What is this growth on my skin?!


Question:

What is this growth on my skin?

I have this red growth thing near my groin. At first I thought it was a mole but then it turned redder so i thought it was a blood blister. I stuck a needle in it and it bled for a very long time but didn't deflate. Since its by my groin it hasn't ever seen direct sunlight. What is it? Could it be cancerous? Thanks

I am not sexually active but yeah i think it might be an ingrown hair or whatever because it was a mole that started brown and flat now its red and inflated...

And yes it hurts w/ pressure.


Answers:

If you are under thirty it is less likely to be a cancer, but still possible. Was it a mole that suddenly changed and bled? Is it a new growth as compared to something that was always there and suddenly changed?
Does it hurt with pressure? If it does it is probably some sort of an infection or ingrown hair. Is it a canker type lesion with a blistered open look? That could be an STD. Is it a wart that is just really pinkish red? HPV is common.
You do need to see a doctor. But it is very highly unlikely to be a cancer.
