What Causes A Growing Bump Between The Thigh And Testicle?

Hello!
I have a Nickle sized oblong or oval bump growing between my left testicle and thigh... It is very painful especially when I am on my feet. It seems like it is getting worse and the leg of the side that it is on is starting to swell... Any idea what it could be?

hello
Thanks for query.
The painful bump between thigh and testicle is most likely to be a Staphylococcal infection of hair follicle in a stage of induration (Boil).

However this can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon .

Take antibiotics like Doxicyline and anti inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac twice daily for a week .

If does not subside you may need to consult qualified General surgeon and get it incised and drained .
