General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. the one near your groin area might be lymphadenopathies secondary to an infection or other pathology. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
