Hi all
I'm new here and just after some advice or similar stories to help calm my nerves a little.
Before Christmas I noticed a lump on my bikini line, it was quite red and inflamed and I put it down to an ingrown hair and thought nothing more of it. It went down and came back up again several times, and now the lump has pretty much stayed raised since then albeit smaller.
It's small, pea sized, quite hard/ rubbery and moveable. It does fluctuate in size, it can go down where it feels like it's barely anything then it can come up again to this size, or the size of a chickpea at biggest.
I went to the GP and they have referred me for an ultrasound and said nothing else about it. They didn't seem overly concerned but I'm still quite worried.
I don't have any pain in it so to speak, but I do find if I've squeezed it it can ache a bit.
I've never really had reactive lymph nodes before that I'm aware of, so naturally thinking the worst here :neutral:
I don't have any other lumps along my groin or neck/armpits.
Has anyone had anything similar? My GP appointment was 2 weeks ago and still haven't had an ultrasound appointment through so it's making me feel worse and google more. I've got an 8 month old daughter and sometimes find myself spiralling thinking about the what ifs.
