Could it be an enlarged lymph node? When lymph nodes enlarge due to infection, they are usually tender http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superficial_inguinal_lymph_nodes

Yes it is somthing that had crossed my mind! I have seen doctor and going for a scan but they seem to think it is a lipoma.

Thanks

I believe lipomas are usually quite soft. If it is tender, that would support an inguinal node. In any case, I hope it is not serious and wish you well.
