Please help..Hard lump under skin in groin area..ingrown hair?!
Question: I woke up some days ago to find a hard lump about the size of a nickle no bigger than a quarter on the inside of my skin between my leg and groin. u know, where the crease is at. the top It is a little sore only when i push on it otherwise I can't feel it. I remember having this a few years ago b4, not knowing what it was. My mother told me to wait until it went down, and it went down eventually. I just can't remember how long it took. I just got off an antibiotic a few weeks ago for bv so me and my fiance had discontinued intercourse during that time. Ever since I was finished with it I think it gave me a yeast infection afterwards and I keep urinating. My tests for chlamydia, gohno and trich came out (-) b4 I took the antibiotics. I don't think this lump has anything to do with it tho, for the fact that it happened to me b4 when I wasn't even having sex. I am wondering what it may be and if i can get rid of it without going to a doc, or what do u think it could've came from. I shave

It sounds like the area you're describing is where your lymph node for that side of your groin would be located. There is another one on the other side of your body in the same area.
When the lymph nodes are irritated or fighting an infection, they become enlarged and swell up like you're describing.
I would suggest seeing your doctor about this, but it's likely nothing that requires an ER trip.
