[|Human|] i recently found a small quarter size mass in my abdomin (lower left). It is some what sore to touch/rub. I have also had a year with some stomach / abdomen pain i.e. burning sensation. Also, some tiredness with cough. Am I over reacting or should I seek medical help? Age 38, male. thanks
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. The mass in the lower abdomen can be a hernia. Please check if it is reduced easily and pops up on coughing. I'd it is, so it is hernia and surgery is the only treatment for this. If it does not change the size or shape : it can be a mildly infected sebaceous cyst as it is sore to the touch as per your history. IT is still to be operated. You get 2 benefits. You get rid of the massage you get a proper diagnosis. So please go ahead and get operated before it leads to some complications
