Lumps

Ok well today i found two lumps in my groin, both are hard and under the skin. one is really tiny, about the size of a pea and doesn't hurt at all, but the other is an oblong shape and considerably larger than the other one, about an inch long and it hurts to touch.
I was just wondering if anyone has any idea as to what they could be?

    i think there is glands in that area somewhere, could be those

    glands can get enlarged and sore if you have a small infection somewhere or are under the weather

    The pea sized one could be a sebaceous cyst.

    it could also just be fatty lumps called lipomas, these are harmless and can be easily removed, but you can just leave them if they are small. Probably safer to get them checked by your doctor tho to be on the safe side.

    cysts as someone has mentioned before. my brother had one that kept coming back after treatment and has just had it removed via an operation.
    best get it checked out at docs but dont worry!
