This kind of relates to the panty line thing but it's a knot thing, I was trying to figure out if there was a scar or something to indacate why my panty line was burning and I found a knot thing, like I had to pull the skin up though not a lot but kind of stretch it I guess? And I felt the knot thing and I went to the bathroom to see if it was a zit like thing or something but where the knot is there's nothing like I can't see anything there it just looks normal so does anybody know what it is?

Your best bet is asking your doctor to take a look at it.

Meanwhile, figure out a way to cushion that area of your body so the panty edge doesn't rub there, or maybe buy some of those panties that have a little bit of a leg and are smooth where this knot thing is. You want to avoid any kind of irritation at this spot.

It could be an ingrown hair, a cyst under the skin, or just a sort of "callus" from the panty irritating that area. A doctor will figure it out.

But then I'll have to tell my dad and that's REALLY akwardd..

It could be a swollen lymph node as well.

Well, try the cushioning or boy-cut panty idea for, say, two weeks to see if the knot and irritation disappear.

Do you have to tell your dad exactly WHY you want to see the doctor?

[J_9]

How long have you had this?

[Wondergirl]

J_9, should she go to the doctor in case it's a swollen lymph node? What could that indicate?

[J_9]

If it's a swollen lymph node it could be nothing more than a common cold. Yes, that can affect nodes in other areas of the body as well.

I'd have to check back, but weren't you asking about shaving your bikini area? If so, this very well could be an ingrown hair. The lumps usually start of small like a pimple, and then they get bigger, more painful, and burst. This is just a guess though.

Doctor time. It may be awkward to tell daddy, but this is your health and important.

I don't know how long I had it but I found it like aroun 3;46am [couldn't sleep because I kept reading] and yea I've already had those things for when the hairs growing back and its like a red pimple thing but this thing I found its not red or anything I feel it UNDER the skin and above the skin where it is there's nothing un-usual there. And yea I'd have to tell him because other wise he wouldn't take me

[Wondergirl]

Is there a similar knot on the other side, or just the one knot?

Tell your dad you think you have swollen glands in your groin and want to get them checked out.

[bijiou36]

Nope just one and I'll just try to tell my grandma
