Hi,

I'm a 25/Male.

2 Years ago, I noticed a bulge on my left side of my groin, right next to my scrotum, just below the inguinal area, beginning of the scrotum. I had an ultrasound done and it was negative for an inguinal hernia, I was told that this excess fat is possibly due to an intial hernia or something. After that I forgot about it.

Fast foward now and I'm filled with anxiety because I don't know what it is. Its not a hernia but it looks like it could be. When I feel it, it feels like extra fat under my skin, there are no lumps, bumps or anything, just extra flesh. It feels like excess fat and skin. It hasn't changed in size in 2 years. Is this normal to have more 'pubic' fat/flesh on one side of my groin/scrotum? Any ideas what it could be?
