What Causes Lump On The Left Side Of Groin Area?

Question: I have a lump on the left side of my groin. It hurts only when I touch that area. Recently I had a small cyst on my vaginal lip. I took hot baths and then applied ointment. I haven't been feeling well. Just generalized not well. Any suggestions
Brief Answer:
Could be lymph node enlargement.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX. This swelling you are referring to is most likely a lymph node enlargement due to the cyst you had on the vagina. What is the character of the cyst now? Is it red or tender? It is possible that the cyst would have become infected and therefore the node has enlarged. You need to consult your Doctor who can prescribe some antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines and the condition will resolve over 5 to 7 days. Take care.
