What Causes Lumps In The Groin Area In Infants?
My daughter just had her 12 month shots a few weeks ago. I noticed today while changing her diaper that she has 2 lumps on each side of her groin. They are soft to the touch and move slightly upon touching. What could this be and should I be concerned?

Hi,
Welcome to the HCM
If the lumps are at the site of injections, then in my opinion they are indurations formed due to local inflammation at the site of vaccination. You should not be worried if they are soft and non tender with no redness. It will gradually improve in next few weeks.
In case it cause pain, redness at site, pus point or fever, then do consult a pediatrician.
