Suggest Treatment For Lump On Inner Thigh

Theirs a lump under my skin where the upper and inner thigh meet and crease where the pelvic area is. I noticed it about a week ago but today it began to be tender and even hurt a little when I walk. At first I thought it was my shorts, but I felt it and it s this hard painful lump under the skin. Just by looking at the skin it looks as if their is nothing there. I m 15 and really appreciate your help! Thanks.

hello ... this lump,painful is suggestive of an infection, usually a Sexually transmitted disease. Often there is a mild burning on passing urine which is relieved on its own and then the lump appears.So, if u have had an exposure, see the doctor asap. Other possibility could be a femoral hernia, which is rare to find and it is a long duration that requires surgery.
