Med’l advice please? Painful, growing lump in male pubic region; what is it? (details.)?
jbloor@att.net asked:
This lump started about 8-9 days ago, and has grown to the size of a walnut. It is in the upper corner of my pubic hair/region, near to the crease that separates my thigh and pubic region. (I recall that there could be lymph nodes in that region?) I am HIV+, have had swollen glands before, but they always go away in a day or two and this hasn’t.
(My t-cells were 600+ 5 mos ago.) It does not appear to be an infected follicle, and cannot be an STD as I am celibate. There is no discerable ‘head’ to this lump. 90% of it lies below the skin surface, and is about the size of a small walnut. It is painful to palpate, but is not otherwise a constant pain. I worry about lymphoma, or a large pus pocket that might lead to a systemic infection? It is reddened but not especially hot to the touch. I am in a large urban area on vaction for the next 3 weeks, and I’m 2,000 mi away from my regular doc. It’s Saturday. What’s your best guess as to what this is? Should I go to an ER, or to one of those ‘urgent care centers’ or keep an eye on it till Monday and call my reg. doc for advice? I’m thinking it needs to be aspirated to see if it’s an infection, or a solid mass? Thanks for your thoughts…
