But since a few days i feel a small lump tight ball under my skin on the left upper thigh... Groin area... I have no pain or anything its just there.... The bulge is always there, while standing or laying down all the time.... even when i squeeze it its not painful.... but if i squeeze too hard it hurts a little.... I cant push it down it doesn't go anywhere.... Its like a small rubber ball under skin... Is it hernia? Or what is it...

Unless you are clinically examined , difficult to determine what type of swelling you have in groin.It could be hernia ,soft tissue swelling or an lipoma.

When you touch it what does it feel like? Fluid saggy what? From what i see its not looking like hernia but it could be a bigger pathology. Has the swelling changed size since the first time you saw it? Do you take supplements in your workout career? I suggest you take a consultation if you like... I've too many questions here
