Sore lump in groin, been there for months!
I developed a lump about six months ago in my groin (outer labia, under the skin). It is hard and is painful, especially when pressure is put on it (sitting for long periods). It also itches. I've been to the doctor twice, both times I was told it was an enlarged lymph node and then treated me for vagititis. The bump didn't respond in anyway to this treatment. Just an FYI (sorry) hair is not growing above this lump.
I have heard before of women getting impacted sweat glands in their groin....and I tend to think this may be the case. Last night, after getting sick of this thing itching and being so painful, I attempted to pop it. I got a little pus and blood out of it, the swelling is down and the pain is almost gone.
Has anyone had any experience with this before? I'm happy to think that this may be the end of this thing, but should I seek another opinion? Thanks so much!

Thank you! I made a doctors appt for tomorrow morning....we'll get to the bottom of this yet!
Sound like a Bartholin's gland/cyst problem. See if this may be or have been the problem. Hope you are feeling better soon!
