I have a welt about the size of half an egg, in my crotch area where the elastic of my under pants is. I ve had small welts before when my undies get twisted or too tight but they have always gone away. About a month ago I got a small welt, it went away...then about a week ago, after sitting at my computer for many hours I noticed some discomfort, checked myself & discovered this larger half egg size & shape, that has not gone away, is not getting larger but is still there. I know I should go to the doctors, haven t been to one in over 30 yrs, any problems I have had go away by themselves, I m afraid of doctors! They always want to draw blood & I m deathly afraid of needles. Please tell me what this may be. Thank you, Sherrie Nichols
