What Causes Lump On Hip Above Pelvic Bone?

I have a lump on my left hip above my pelvic bone. It started out small when i first got it (approximately 6-8 months ago) & it's grown to be larger. It's underneath the skin & painless. You can't feel it unless you apply pressure. It feels like a bone but i know it can't be a bone. What could it be?

Welcome to health care magic.

1.Lump in the pelvic region and seen prominent on applying pressure and painless - suggest possibilities of inguinal hernia.
2.In this case the next step should be to beta an appointment and request for an ultrasound scan after physical examination.
3.The ultrasound will detect any kind of lump,assess the nature of the lesion and its content.
4.In case of hernia anterior abdominal defect will be measured on cough reflex, and evaluate the contents of the hernia, weather there is any strangulation or not.
5.So get appointment and needful investigation and treatment. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
