I cut myself shaving in groin area can that cut become a wart?
I have had a plantar wart on my right foot for about 10 months now. I have been having severe pains in my right inguinal area ( I thought it was a hernia) I got it looked at and was told I have swollen lymph nodes. Can that viral wart affect my lymph nodes? Should I get it removed? I never mentioned my the length of time I had this wart to my Dr. I thought it was irrelevant. Also, this morning I am having pretty bad neck pain on my right side of neck shooting to my shoulder. Everything seems to be getting worse for me! I just wanted some advice on this because I do not have insurance and I want to know what I should do.
Thank you!
Hi.
From your post, it seems that you have a localized infection (abscess) in your groin area. There are signs of inflammation like redness and tenderness.
You need to go to your doctor for evaluation. Appropriate antibiotic can be given to control the infection.
Good luck.
Hello,
A few moths a go i felt a lump just by my bikini line, it also looked purple, i when to my GP and she said it was a swollen glad, she mentioned about me shaving, which i do, she said if it gets any bigger i should come back, the size of it hasn't changed, but it looks different.
it had a whit head, it was also itchy, and puss began to come out, it hurt when i touch it and it red. Do you think i have got an infection ?

Thank you doctor for the help. This is truly a great site!
Hi.
There is a possibility that there is a secondary infection. You can try taking the antibiotic and see if there will be improvement of the appearance and also decrease in the size of the groin lymph nodes.
But I would still suggest consult with a doctor for further evaluation.
Hello doctor,
No their is no puss coming out only a clear liquid when i squeeze the planter wart with that smells awful.
the bruise i mentioned is more of a rednees that you mentioned, and it does hurt a little but less than last time. the redness goes from the side of my toe to my planter wart.
i can feel heat/warmth when i touch the planter wart
the white skin around my planter wart, when i press on it i can see the liquid moving around and if i press hader it will come out from my planter wart.
with these signs do you think it is infected, and if it is can it be that my lymph node is swollen becuase of this?
Hi.
Does it look like pus coming out of the plantar wart?
If it is pus, then it is infected. You may try taking antibiotic like Cloxacillin.
How did the purplish/bluish bruise start? Does it look like a hematoma? Is it tender to touch? The cardinal signs of infection are swelling, redness, warmth, tenderness.
Sorry for the reply's i am just worried becuase im currently in a different country and i cannot see a doctor.
I noticed that when i squeez the planter wart a liquid comes out that smells awfull, couse this indicate that it is infected?
could the left lymph node be swollen becuase of the bruise on my left toe?
thank you doctor for replying to my posts
Hi.
From your description, it is hard to tell exactly if the plantar wart caused the appearance of the groin lymph node. It doesn't seem infected. Maybe the groin lymph node is caused by something else.
It would be best to have yourself seen by your doctor.
I noticed that around the wart it is white, mabey dryed up skin but then around that it is purple/blue like a bruise. Also beside the planter wart their is also another bruise on the side of my teo about 1 inch in length. could this bruise have also caused the groin lymph node to swell?
Hi.
Did you notice any change in the appearance of your plantar wart?
There is a possibility that the lymph nodes could be secondary to the infected wart. There is an extensive lymphatic drainage in the inguinal region coming from the lower extremities.
You should see your doctor for further evaluation and management.
Good luck.
just to add to the information its been very hard to walk on my foot becuase of the pain, it could be infected im not sure.
