What is this lump?

Last week I noticed a lump at the top of my inner thigh. There almost seemed a head on it but it hasn't come to anything. It's a lump about the size of a mini egg. And it moves when I press on it, doesn't hurt, itches a bit. Feels a bit rubbery/hard,

I've looked on Google, maybe a lipoma? There's nothing to see when you take a photo, it's under the skin.

I've tried hot compresses and magnesium sulphate for 3 nights and nothing has come up. I've tried to squeeze it, ( I know I know) any nothing comes out, maybe a wee bit of clear liquid the first few times and then nothing. It's not red, it just looks normal, but then you can feel it when you touch it.

I've booked a docs appointment for them to have a look.

Sounds like a lymph node

Huh, it does seem like it might be near that area actually. Ok so, the doctor would be able to check that. Is there anything I could do in the meantime?

It should go by itself but the Dr will be able to tell if it's a lymph node

Thank you for replying.

It seems like it would have swollen due to an infection, I can't think of any infection I've had recently?

It might be a small spot or a virus. Mine have swollen there before for no apparent reason
