Mass/ Abcess On My Inner Thigh Can This Be Abscesses?
Question: Good Morning, I have a mass/ abcess on my inner thigh. Because of where it is located I don't know how to proceed. It was on my posterior now it is on the inner thigh close to posterior. What type of doctor do I need to visit to get this removed
Brief Answer:
primary care
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Abscesses need to be opened and drained. Most primary care doctors do this procedure in the office. If you do not have a primary care doctor then you could go to an urgent care to get this done. Surgeons could also easily do this procedure.
I hope you get see by a doctor soon. These can be very painful
