What Could Swollen, Painful Lump On The Right Side Of Bikini Line Indicate?

I have a lump I noticed years ago on the right side bikini line, it has never hurt me and felt like a muscle or tendon or something. I swear I could feel the same thing on the other side just not as big so in ever really worried. I have also seen a doctor several times since then. I got up today and the "lump" is about an inch long, much more swollen and really hurts. It's not particularly red or anything, and I don't think it's like an ingrown hair or something , it's just swollen. I'm freaking out

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though it might not be possible to diagnose the condition without a physical examination, most probably it might be a inguinal hernia. If I were your doctor, I would refer you to a general surgeon for a physical examination and related investigations for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
