I woke up and on the inside of my left inner thigh where the crease meets the pelvic area I found a huge hard sorta oblong feeling and it feels hard as a rock but hurts little when you push in it. what the heck could it be. its not a lump outwards its a lump like if you were to do a breast check.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The 'bump' may be a lymph node that is inflamed or infected or abscess which is a collection of pus. An abscess is initially hard/firm then softens as pus is formed.
Lumps can also form if there is trauma to an area.
Your doctor can determine which is present based on the exact location.
Antibiotics may be needed if an infection is present.
I hope this helps
