i'm scared for my boyfriend,he has a sore bump on the inside of his thigh, near his groin, what could this be?

It seems like a ACUTE LYMPHADENITIS to me as you must have been able to differentiate a ‘sore bump’ from a boil or an abscess and would have known what to do.  Acute lymphadenitis does have various reasons for its genesis, and the most common being an infection down the leg (which may be trivial also), and the STDs.  Best is to get him see his own doctor for it, for it will require a clinical examination and if needed then a few blood tests would have to be performed.    Anyways a course of antibiotics will settle this issue.  If you can encourage him to use a condom, it will protect you till such time he is cleared by his doctor.

he needs  to get checked out...if he's overweight that could be part of it, could also be stress or something out...get him to go see a doctor

Possibility of an infection. Call your doctor and have it checked out.

If you are really worried about it-make an appt. with a gyno and stop asking questions on the web. Yes these people may have had the same bumps but it may or may not be what you have going on 'down there'so you can not be sure how to treat it until you know what it is. Whether it be trush or an std you should not treat it with anything until a doctor checks you out and tells you what it is...exactly!

Hey No need to worry this much, I have gone through a similar condition like this . I was much worried about herpes as symptoms looks that way . After that I realized that most symptoms are produced by my anxiety only. Now all I can say is that you have become hypersensitive . What you are experience is a penis irritation or inflammation only . The body aching is produced by your anxiety . Take this as a good lesson stop having any kind of sexual relations with strangers . If you are having sexual urge so much , then practice safe sex like masturbation . Otherwise this kind of careless sex can take away entire life . Think about it .At this moment you don't need to worry much about . Your symptoms will go away after few days .Further you practice safe sex only . You can go for an STD test later if you want to make sure that you are 100% clean.

chances are he has hpv as well.....i think it was up to 87% of americans over the age of 16 have hpv. but yes you should tell him. if hes a good guy, he will stick around. if not then you didnt need him amyways.   keep a eye out on your hpv. go to your doctor when your supposed to. I have hpv and it lead to more serious issues.     good luck sweetheart

There are a couple of possibilities. Yes, run-don't walk back to your doctor. The antibiotics may not have worked. Is this rash painful? If you were diagnosed with gonorrhea is it possible your partner could have had something else? Like genital herpes? I really hope you don't have that, and you really need to call your doctor ASAP. If it is herpes they will need to see it, and you don't want the symptoms to go away before they can evaluate them. Good luck, and remember to use a condom next time!!!

you have to tell him somehow, it depends how close you are, if your really close and can confront him do so as he needs to get checked out aswell, and any previous partners.\nyou can arrange for your gp to send an anonymous note to him if in UK, if your elsewhere im not sure if you can do this but then you could send him an anonymous note. start wearing condoms from now on if you continue to have sex. herpes is an std and if you have this condoms wont protect you as this can be all over the genital area, in which case when you can see or feel sores get a special herpes crem from your chemist and dont have sex for a few days, 3 of my friends have this and aparantly its very painful even to pee if you dont use creams. i think the cream is called aclicovir.\nyou need to find out exactly what stds you could have. these cannot be treated yet by the way, only the effects softened as with herprs.\nhopefully if yu do have something it is just an sti which can be treated. although if you have stis for a long while it can cause fertility problrms and pelvic inflamatory disease, so this may be how you got pid. good luck.

I'm so sorry to even have the knowledge to tell you this. I contracted HSV from a boyfriend of a year after he had unprotected sex with some slut in Atlanta and then crawled into my bed. Now I am in new relationship with a man I've known for nearly two years. I will have to tell him about herpes too. After herpes, everything in my life changed, but it wasn't the disease that hurts the most -it's the stigma, hurt, and the inability to trust someone else. After the first outbreak it's pretty much smooth sailing except all those old feelings are brought up with every new outbreak. Three years ago, I had a relationship with a man who admitted after we had dated and had sex for nine months that he had herpes. At first, I was okay with it until I realized that he lied to me. He lied by not saying anything. He made the decision that I wasn't a person enough to decide whether I wanted herpes in my life. Then I wondered, "What other decisions is he making for me?" That was scary. Then Mr. I'm Getting Kicks in Atlanta took my ability to choose. He decided that it would be easier to not tell me that there was another person in our bed than to tell me the truth. Someone has already taken your ability to choose, but you and I have no right to do that to someone else. You don't want to go into your new relationship and have someone feel that way about you. Approximately 1 in 4 people have genital herpes and really it's no big deal. The stigma is the thing that ruins people's lives. If it didn't exist than there might be better relationships. I will be telling my next partner within as soon as sex comes up. Tell him in a relaxed setting (clothes on) and really talk to him. Tell him before you've had any sexual contact. It's okay if he's weirded out by it. Tell him, "I know what it feels like not to be valued as person because someone did that to me. I care for you and I want there to be no secrets between us. I have herpes." Give him an envelope filled with reading material so that he can see for himself. Then quickly tell him what herpes means, i.e. a noncurable skin condition. Try to be as positive as possible, he is going to look for cues from you to understand how to feel. Personally, I won't be choosing another sex partner now before marriage. I know this makes this harder, but I consider this a huge warning to not trust "Goodtime Charlie" with a go-round with my body. It's worth more than that.

could be a lot of things. std, urinary tract infection, getting hit in the back. you should have this guy get checked out, it could be very serious or maybe not. but why risk it if you can prevent something from getting worse.

I think you really need to see your doctor. Its probably not an STD but its obviously not normal. See your doctor asap

Sounds to me like he has HPV. (Genital Warts)  U need to make him go get tested. Condoms do not protect u against HPV and there are certain types that increase the risk of cervical cancer in women. Also, most people who have HPV do not show any symptoms, so it's possible u already have it. Go see ur gynocologist and ask for a HPV test. If u have it, u should have a pap smear every 3-4 months to check for abnormal cell growth. If u do, dont get hysterical over it, HPV will usually go away on it's own within a year or two as long as u are no longer having sex with an infected partner, and in most cases it doesnt turn into cancer. But better to know for sure and keep up with regular checks just in case.

I would have it checked out by your local othopedic specialist. It could be something serious, or like your boyfriend said, a bone spur.

Sounds like it might be HPV. And if it is, it is HE that contracted it from someone else, not YOU. This doesn't mean that he necessarily cheated on you, because HPV can lay dormant within the body for up to 10 years before it ever shows up. In some cases it never shows up; regardless it is a sexually viral disease that is not fatal, but it is contagious through sexual intercourse. He may have contracted it before he even met you and for whatever reason(s) it has now become active. I think the reason your husband may be trying to put the blame on you is either (1) he has cheated on you and realizes that the evidence is showing on his penis and he can't hide it from you, so rather than fess up he is turning the attention on you to make it seem like YOU were the one being unfaithful to him, or (2) he really hasn't cheated on you and has no idea he may have had HPV for all these years and the only rational explanation is still to blame it on you somehow. Either way, you BOTH need to get medically checked by your doctors to find out what it is and start protecting yourselves. If it is HPV, and you have it, the downside for women is that it now increases the risk of getting cervical cancer down the road and you have to keep up with your PAP smears on a yearly basis (maybe even twice a year). Also, if the HPV flares up for either one of you, you have to start using condoms each time you have sex. I hope this helps and good luck to you both.

Probably a pimple. If it doesn't go away within a week, tell him to see his doc just to be safe. Good luck to you.

Could be HPV, or Human Papilloma Virus, or Molluscum Contagiosa.  I'd see a doctor to determine what they are.  Just because they showed up after having sex with current boyfriend doesn't necessarily mean he gave it to you.  It can lie dormant in your body for an undetermined amount of time, and you may have happened to have an outbreak at that time.
