Current Events > I have a small, hard lump in my groin.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not a joke topic, unfortunately, lol.

Hopefully just a cyst, but given the last three years itd be totally on brand for it to be something worse.

edit: before anyone says it, I will totally be going to the dr to get it checked out. Just havent had time lately.

Does it feel like it's on the testicle or just like under the skin

Good luck bud.

If it was testicle or testicle adjacent Id be code kermiting.

Its under the skin on the fleshy part above the equipment, so probably cyst or at worst a lipoma.

Hoping for the best for you, TC.

Might be a bug bite

Ingrown hair?

Get it checked out immediately. Don't assume its something. And I'm being real with you here, make time. Tell your boss that you need to go to the hospital to get it checked out. Work isn't as important as that right now.

I used to have three cysts on my back and one by one they got infected and became boils. Still waiting for the one on my upper chest to follow suit.

There's always time to get a hard lump in your groin looked at.

Ive spent the last month as a carer for someone whos needed someone with them 24:7, so its been on the back burner.

There's nobody around to be a Plan B if something happens to you?

Respectfully, as someone who went through 2 stints of Cancer myself, no one is more important than you. Not your wife, not your kids, not your job, Nobody. And its a harsh way to put it, but you can't help anyone else if you yourself are cooped up in the hospital because you ignored a sign that your body is going through something. It may be nothing, we pray its nothing, but you never ever put it on the back burner. If its a job for you as a carer, talk to your boss about setting up someone as cover for a single day while you get it checked out. If its family, ask another family member or neighbour to look after the individual for a couple hours while you get yourself at the very least tested.

I can appreciate that, but you can't get someone else to sit in while you make a quick trip to an urgent care? Come on now, do the right thing.
