Guest guest Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I am betting these are swollen glands, fatty tissue or something benign. I've had things like this appear/disappear before. Since this is an area where friction can occur (especially if you exercise or are overweight) there can be irritation. Is this the area where your underwear leg hole elastic hits? Your regular internist should be fine. All groin lumps should get checked out, but don't get too freaked out while you wait for the appointment.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Sounds like swollen glands (especially if they are in the same place on each side of the groin). A gp once told me that these can be triggered by anything from a cut or sore on the lower torso or legs to an internal infection. I guess similar to swollen glands in the neck from a head cold or sore throat. ---- billymadison303 <billymadison303@...> wrote: > I would like to add that they are under the skin, I think they may be lymph nodes. > > > > > > I have had these weird lumps on both sides of my groin for the last few months.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 By groin, do you mean at the top of legs or in the private area. For a girl, in the private area, could be bartholin cysts.(GYN dr) On the top part of legs near the private area, it is probably cellulitis and you would see a gen practitioner. > > I have had these weird lumps on both sides of my groin for the last few months.
