Suggest Treatment For Lumps And Knots With Pain In The Groin Area
Question: Hello, I have possibly 2 lumps or knots that are tender to the touch, there is mild discomfort associated when walking, and more discomforting when pressed. Located in the web part of the groin area - there is no visible redness or bruising in the area. What are the possible symptoms and do I need seek emergency treatment
Brief Answer:
It is probably a lymph node swelling. See your Doctor.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The lumps are most likely Lymph node swellings.
However, it is very difficult to say without examining you.
I suggest you see your GP or a surgeon who can examine you and advice you accordingly.
It could be some low grade infection in the limb which could be causing it.
You would probably need a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory medications for a week for the condition to resolve.
Do not worry.
You are fine and it will be alright soon.
Take care and do let us know if we can help resolve other queries on the subject.
