A few days ago I noticed a small red bump on my right hip that was itching. It has now gotten a lot larger and there is swelling running from my hip down at a angle to my lower abdomen. It is red and when you run your hand across it you can feel something under the skin that would feel sort of like something long and round like say a 1/2 inch dia. Piece of rope. This swelling just started one day ago

And you haven't had this checked by a doctor yet?
