Throbbing Pain In Lump On Upper Thigh Near Pelvis. Worried

I'm an eighteen year old male, and just today I discovered a lump where the upper thigh joins my pelvis.. I've done some prior research but i can't guarantee that those were correct... it's been hurting for a couple of days now, not anything major just an occassional throbbing, but now that I've discovered this bump it really has me worried...

Pulmonologist 's  Response
It looks like it is lymph node enlargement in the inguinal region and it is paining that means it is inflammatory or infection. The lymph node drains from the pelvis area and the legs and any infection around that part will give you an enlargement.
Have you been exposed to anyone sexually or any urinary infection ?
