Painful Lump In Groin?

Just after some advise really,

 

ive found a lump in my groin area (right where google says your lymph nodes sit), it feels deep under the skin and is painful to touch, pain feels like a bruise type pain.
 

Can anybody share their story of anything similar/ diagnosis please? 

  • My friend did get diagnosed with cancer in her groin but she’d had a lump for 3 months, had other symptoms etc BUT it wasn’t painful.

     

    Usually doctors don’t worry about nodes that hurt. It’s usually down to minor infection or a virus etc so I really wouldn’t worry especially if you’ve only just noticed it x
