Strange Thing In My Groin Area Posted: 05-06-07 16:57pm
Just for informational purposes, I'm a 19
year old male.
I have had this strage "thing" on the
inside of my upper thigh near my groin
area. It has been there ever since I can
remember (quite a few years), and I've
never known what it was. I just figured it
was one of those abnormalities that some
people just have. I couldn't feel anything
if I touched it or squeezed it. I never
even paid much attention to it until
lately when I began to get somewhat sore
around it when I walk. It has gotten quite
"puffy" almost like a bubble I guess you
can say, and it's not soft anymore as it
used to be. It used to be like just a
small thing of "extra skin" just sitting
there. Now it's kind of swollen and
slightly red. Earlier today it was a
little purple-ish, but it turned back to
somewhat red after a couple of minutes.
I'm not sure what I should do about it. To
give you a better idea of what I'm talking
about, here are some pictures:
Any help with this matter would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That looks like an external hemmroid, but
the position is odd. Does it hurt?

I don't think pictures are appropriate;
but the mod will have to judge that.
Secondly, if it's bothering you, then go
to a doctor.

He hasn't shown anything bad, and I can
see why he's concerned. A doctor on here
might be able to easily tell what that is,
but you are right in that he should be
seen if it's a concern.
