YOu know the answer. Go to the doctor immediately. Why would you think you could trust people here? This is nothing to screw around with.

It may be a bartholin cyst, which is a harmless build up of fluid caused by a blockage. If it becomes painful and heaps bigger in a short amount of time, it might be infected so go to the doctor's straight away. If it doesn't do anything, you can leave it or go get it drained (ew, I know).\nIt might also be a trapped hair , causing a bump around it?\nGood luck mate.

This sounds like poor circulation on the left side of your body.  It could even be vindictive of something more serious, just as a brain injury, tumor, or nervious disorder such as muscular distrophy or parkinson's disease.  Don't just sit around and wait for it to go away, because you could have a claught which can be life threatening.  Goto your doctor, and like as soon as you can.  This could be life threatening, or not, don't panic just seek some professional advice.

No. Go to see your doctor, it could be something simple like haemorroids or something more serious. Don't put it off go as soon as you can to the doctor

It is not cancer but something else kindly consult your medical consultant. You may, I repeat may have a problem with the blood vessel in that area or the nerve.\n Get your heart also checked.\n \nPlease do not waste your time seeking advice on the Internet from ignorant people like me.

Definitely see a doctor. It could be an infection so you want to try to get help for it before it turns into something serious. Hope this helped!

Sounds like a Baker's cyst. These are common and usually not too serious.\nYou should still go see a doctor anyways.

It could be several things, really. It could be an infected hair follicle, a wart, a really determined pimple, or many other things. Does it bleed? Does it itch? Is it painful when you leave it alone? \n\nDon't pick at it. See your dermatologist. Good luck. :)

It is likely a swollen lymph node and not a big deal.  However, I just got finished being treated for Hodgkin's Disease (Lymphoma, cancer in the lymph nodes and lymphphatic system)\n\nI had nodes in my neck and arm pit swell and the ones under my arm were tender even though it was cancer (often if they're tender it's just a benign cyst and nothing to worry about)\n\nYou should never feel stupid when it comes to ensuring your own health!  I just turned 25.  A lot of people didn't believe I had anything serious either, even my doctors at first, and I had cancer!  So it's best to just get to the doctor and get it dealt with early.  Luckly we caught mine in stage two and now I'm in full remission.

You have a lump on your body where it shouldn't be. Something is sticking out through a hole in a muscle or other tissue that normally holds it in. Most common in the groin and the bellybutton.

could be an infected hair follicle.  Not serious, just painful\n\ncould be an enlarged lymph node.  indicating infection "draining" from somewheere nearby.  Could be serious.\n\nCould be something else\n\nYou'd need to see a healthcare practitioner for an accurate answer to your question.

you have a lump the size of a lemon and you're asking here what to do?\n\nGet to a Dr whom you trust.  Second opinions are not for nothing!\n\nIf your parents are not terribly concerned, but you are, see your school nurse and let her help you decide what to do.\n\nBest wishes.

It's a cyst that requires a doctor to lance the area & remove it.  I had one on my back once from acne that I thought had cleared up on its own.  I had crappy insurance then like you do now.  Just make an appointment, be specific about the visit & go.  Most doctor's offices will work out payments with you if you have any co-pays.
