Serious question: I'm a female with a personal injury?
Since almost 2 weeks ago, I'm am experiencing some kind of on-and-off soreness on my bottom left groin/thigh area (possibly where my left pelvis is located at). Sometimes, I can only feel it when I started walking on it. There is no swelling or discoloring at all around my crotch. I am currently wearing a stretch bandage to ease the tension for walking. I'm not sure if my condition happens to be a muscular problem, bone problem, folliculitis, etc. I'm not sure if the condition that I have is serious or not. What am I deal with? Should I see a doctor?

Your pelvis is probably misaligned, and it can be easily fixed by a physical therapist. I'd advise going straight to a good PT rather than seeing your doctor first, as a PT can do the adjustment for you, and your doctor is less likely to be able to do it in his office. The PT can also give you exercises to stabilize the position of the pelvis so it is less likely to slip or tilt.

Any type of pain that has lasted this long needs to be checked by a doctor. None of us on this site are doctors so it is not possible for us to make a diagnoses. Sure we can say something like; yea I had that and it was a strained muscle. But that was us and not you. Your pain could be cause by something entirely different.
By the way stretch bandages are also frowned upon as while they give support they also cause the muscle to deteriorate. If they are too tight the can impede blood supply as well.
The best thing to do is to see a doctor ASAP. Go to the nearest urgent care center or hospital ER if your family doctor can not see you in the next 24 hrs.
