Discolored lump on groin

by minnie_mouse, Nov 05, 2009 03:02AM
Hi i have a discolored (black/purple color sometimes red) lump betweem the edge of my pubic bush and my leg.  It gets sore every now and again but sometimes i don't even notice it is there at all.  When it is sore it sometimes bleeds and excretes yellow pus.  Is there any way i can treat this?

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be a boil or an infected cyst. Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
