Found a lump on my groin?

Question

I have a lump on my groin that's been there for a couple weeks now. I noticed it by accident when I was in the shower. It's a little smaller than a marble and is located right where the inside of my thigh meets my vaginal region. It does not hurt, itch, or bother me otherwise. It also is NOT an open sore. Originally it's just felt like a lump, but I'm realizing now that it feels as if it might be filled with liquid.

Does anyone know what this is? I haven't gotten it checked out by a doctor yet but I plan on it. Just wondering if this sounds like an ingrown hair (which I have been told it might be) because I don't normally get them and really have no idea what they look or feel like.

A doctor or nurse opinion would be nice. Furthermore, how long does it take to go away and how can i treat it myself?

Answer 1

it sounds like to me jessica its simple cyst .not too worry to much its it is part of growing. sometimes it needs to be surgically removed which is a simple operation.i have had lots of these things some-people have them some-people don't.

Answer 2
