What Does Pain In Groin With Pimple Like Mass In Mid Section Indicate?

I have a large pimple-like mass on my mid section. I am also having pain in my groin which causes pain when I stand or walk. I know I should go to the dr, but does it sound serious? The mass shrinks and swells - at it's largest has been the size of a baseball.

Hi,
This is likely to be a hernia. This is not serious but to confirm the diagnosis you would need to be examined by a doctor. Pain and swelling are the main symptoms of a hernia.
I suggest a visit to your doctor.
Regards,
