Suggest treatment for a pea sized lump on the groin area
Patient: I have an oblong shaped hard lump, maybe the size of a pea, under the skin in my groin area. No color to it, but it did have a flat red spot in the center like a pimple had popped. When squeezed, I got a lot of blood (some stringy blood as well) and a small amount of other matter that looked more like fatty tissue than pus. I put some alcohol and triple antibiotic cream on it, but 24 hours later, it is the same. Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma or some abscess or cyst.  You should go for examination and if needed go for biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
