What Causes A Lump Under The Skin Near The Inner Thigh And Groin?

I am 54 year old female and just discovered a hard lump under my skin near my inner thigh and groin area. When I felt the lump I squeezed and a lump came up- you can not see the lump only when you squeeze and it is sticks out. It feels hard an seems to be deep Any idea what this could mean?

Hi
It looks like a Enlarged lymphnode.
Please get an Ultrasound of the affected area for a clue.
If it is a Enlarged lymphnode, get an FNAC( Fine Needle aspiration Cytology ) of the swelling for exact diagnosis.
Hope I answered your query.
