I've had this small, hard lump near my groin on the left leg for the past 34 days and I'm getting a bit worried. It seemed like it might've been a hair follicle issue at first, but those usually clear up in a day or two, and this one's just sticking around. Recently, I had a fever and went to the doctor who gave me some red liquid and pills, probably antibiotics, but I'm not sure if they're related to the lump or something else. Im generally pretty healthy with no other medical issues, so I'm not sure what this could mean. Should I see a dermatologist or a urologist about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.

There's a small bump near the start of my butt crack that I recently noticed. It doesn't hurt or feel uncomfortable, but I had an itchy bum and felt it while I was scratching. The bump doesn't seem to move, and I don't think there's any redness involved. I'm not sure if this is something new or if it's been there for a while. Should I be worried about this?

This could be a benign skin condition such as a cyst or a skin tag. Without further examination, it is difficult to determine the exact cause. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry to prevent any potential irritation. If the bump persists or changes in any way, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
