Hi,
Such a lump is an inguinal lymph node suggestive of some infection in it's drainage area (front and back of legs, pelvic area, genital area). When the pain started, some secondary infection settled in the node
gradually it forms abscess. At this moment you need a doctor's help for starting a suitable antibiotics the abscess&finding the basic cause of the abscess followed by its treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
