What Is The Cause Of A Lump On The Leg?
I have a hard, pea-sized lump on my right side where my leg meets my pelvic area. It s tender to the touch and the area around it feels tender. I m also feeling a burning sensation in that area now that radiates down my leg and into my left side, though the burning is most acute on my right side. What is this please?

Hello
Generally pea size lump in groin area is enlarged lymph nodes.This is the draining area of lymph from lower abdomen and lower extremity.
It is important to observe for any signs of infection/inflammation in these areas.
First you need proper clinical examination and routine hemogram.
You may need to take analgesics and antibiotics.
Generally these are benign findings and only need symptomatic treatment.
Get well soon.
Take Care
