What Causes Moveable Lumps Around My Groin Area?
I have found several pea sized moveable lumps around my groin area, also I have two large lumps that are paralell to one another. They have been there for years and the Dr. said not to worry about them. I am just now finding nore of them and have realized that there are 6 smaller ones around the area. I am very scared! Help! I am 27 years old, normal height and weight.

Hi ,they are either Lipomas(fat globules) or lymph node swellings.
If you are worried you should get examined by a Surgeon. Without examining you it is very difficult to say what it is.
If they are Lipomas then they do not need any treatment. If troublesome you can get them removed by a small surgery and will need to consult a Surgeon for the same,
Take care,
