Cyclist Nodules

As this is the forum most related to health/injury topics I thought I'd ask my question here. I put in a lot of miles and a few months ago I noticed some swelling at the base of my butt and in the crease of my upper thigh between my legs. I stopped riding for a while and it went down. However I get this now after every ride and there's been some fluid drainage and I've developed a hard lump there. There is zero pain and I don't notice it when I ride. It sounds like something called "cyclist nodules" that develop from repeated trauma of the tissue. I'm going to pop along to the doctor to see if some steroid injections might help, but I wondered if anyone's had something similar.
