Suggest Treatment For Large Bump On Pubic Bone Area

Posted on Wed, 8 Jun 2016

Question: I just noticed a large bump (under the skin), on the left side of my pubic bone area. Approx. two finger widths above the leg crease. No pain. Should this be evaluated? I've never had this; worried. Bump is golf ball sized.

Thanks for the query.
I would like to know few details.
