[|Human|] I have a lump in groin that just appeared about a week ago.  It is sore to the touch and it seems like it is secreting fluid like sweat.  Is is possible to have an infected sweet gland.  The lump is about the size of a walnut.  It is fairly hard.  What could this be?
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. Yes, it could be inflamed sebaceous glands or foliculitis but also, in some cases it indicates a swollen lymph node which doesn't require any specific treatment. Also, considering your description this may be some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibrous or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. Then it there is doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
