lump under skin on bikini line

There is a lump under my skin on my bikini line right at the crease. There is no pain. Doesn't hurt to touch. There is no redness. Its about the size of a grape. I noticed it a few weeks ago. Any ideas on what this is? Should I see a doctor?

It could be an enlarged lymph node - we have a lot of lymph nodes in the groin area - especially around the crease as you describe.

Many slim/skinny women and men can feel them easier than a heavier person.

My sister had this and thought it was cancer - doctor confirmed it was just her lymph nodes - she is very skinny.
I had this too - and didn't notice a change in size, no pain - so presumed it was just a lymph node.

If it changes in size or becomes tender/painful -  visit a doctor.
