I'm a 19yr. old male. I noticed a small lump in the pubic region(to my left of my penis). Any ideas?

Welcome, gotta give us a bit more info for us to help you! Where exactly is this lump? Is it on the outside or inside of your skin? Always been there or recently found? Any pain or discomfort? How about its color, red? Swollen? Appear at all to be infected? Answer these and someone will get back with you!

If it's basically on the surface, it might be a zit, or an ingrown hair, or you had crabs recently, it might be an infection where the little bastard attached himself. If it's deeper than that, it could be swollen lymph node in your groin or a cyst. Or it might be something else entirely. If it seems like it's deeper than a zit-like thing, or if it doesn't go away in a week or two, you should probably have your doctor check it.

Could be a hernia. Did you strain or lift something very heavy recently? See a Dr.
