Should I be worried? - Lymphomas Message Board

I just noticed this evening a little bump near my pelvic area right in the crease where the leg starts on the bone (I dont know what its called) It felt like a pimple but as I felt the bump i noticed it was huge like the outer circumfrance was almost like a ping pong ball (maybe a little smaller) and it felt like a rock when I squeezed it. I got kind of freaked out and I went to the bathroom to examine it and as I barely squeezed it, it popped like a pimple and blood/puss came out, and I ALOT I mean ALOT. It doesnt hurt constantly only when I push on it or squeeze it (the area is a little tender) After I got loads of the blood/puss out of it I rubbed it with some alchahol swabs and went back into my room, now its been like an hour and it seems to have shrunk a little bit.

I would know for sure it was a pimple if it wasnt for it being so big. What could it be? Or is it just a gigantic pimple?

Oh and I know most people would say to go to the doctor and have it checked but thats not an option right now (just turned 18 and insurance cancelled) = impossible

I don't care if you have health insurance or not, go see a Dr. You're 18, get this thing checked out and make sure it's nothing or find out what it is and get it treated NOW!!!
