    Robbo:
    Lumps are common but they are not normal and should be checked by a doctor. Usually they are nothing to worry about the attached link will instruct you on how to do a proper self exam.

      Hi Robbo:

      Based on the area you circled on that image, it could be a cyst in the skin, a swollen lymph node or possibly an inguinal hernia. As Dadmo says you should have a doctor check it out.

      Best wishes,

        Being that high up it would seem to me (in my unproffesional opinion) that the lump is a hernia........
