What Causes Raised Bump On The Groin?

I have recently discovered a large, raised bump on the left side of my groin and am curious to know what this is. It is not overly painful to touch and appears to be under the skin. I have also been experiencing repeated urinary tract infections for about two months and have been taking a number of different anti-biotics to clear this. I am just curious as to whether there is a link between these both. 18 year old Female

Hi,
From history it seems that due to repeated urinary tract infection and likely of having lower genital infection as well.
Due to lack of personal local hygiene there might be having recurrent infection leading to enlarged inguinal lymph nodes.
Keep local hygiene clean and healthy, particularly during period.
Ok and take care.
