What does the large hard lump in groin area with pus and blood indicate?
Patient: There is a large hard lump on my groin area- in the groove where my inner thigh meets pubic hair. It has a spot like lump on top- which I can squeeze and blood mixed with watery puss comes out. It is getting bigger- not visibly but I can feel it with my hands. What the hell is it? Doctor: HelloI appreciate your concern It could be a infected boil or a sign of STI securely transmitted infectionIf you can upload a photograph and provide me more information like relevant medical history and since how long it has been there, I will definitely help you in best possible way.I see patients with similar complaints in my clinic and I would advise them for a course of antibiotics under supervision with cleaning and dressing with antiseptic solutionIf it doesn't heal in a course of a week I would have advised for baseline blood and urine investigation to establish an underlying cause.Maintain good hygienekeep it clean an apply antiseptic ointmentThanks for your questionBest wishes
