What Does A Growth In The Groin Area Suggest?

my husband has a growth in his groin area that is a little bigger than a pencil and black. He says it s been getting bigger gradually. It s about as tall as it is around. Who should he see to have it removed? We re trying to avoid paying for or 4 different doctors to get it taken care of because we have a high deductible plan and I can t find work.
