I have a red bump/mark in the skin fold where my leg and groin meet. The mark is about 1/8" big and it looks like there is a crack in the center of it. The crack area is shiny but nothing appears on a tissue when I dab it. It is right where the the leg band of my underwear is so it is a bit uncomfortable. Any thoughts as to what it is and what I need to do? Thank you

 Hello JeffK,
There are a few possibilities. If the crack is more of a central dimple this may be a bump from a virus called molluscum contagiosum. It may also be that you have a clogged pore or hair follicle that has developed into a small bump.
Both these can be irritated and exacerbated by rubbing from clothing, which may be causing the lump to persist longer than it typically would.
If this continues I would suggest you see your doctor to get a better diagnosis and possibly even have it removed.
Best wishes.
