Are The Lumps In My Armpit And Groin Related To Cancer?

I have Mrsa. I use to get lumps under arm pit and had two lanced. Since then I have gotten them near my groin and drain them myself and occasionally get bactirum as an antibiotic. I m worried that maybe these lumps I keep getting aren t mrsa? They drain blood/pus.. I have one now that I don t think drained all the way a couple weeks ago and is a hard pea shape under skin in groin. I have had about 5 in my groin area or underneath my butt/thigh in 2 months that I have drained. Could this actually be cancer? Should I be really concerned?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

All the swelling on the body might not be solely due to a cancer. So please do not be obsessive about it to avoid anxiety and stress. Well, you have to get these clinically assessed with related investigation by your family physician/ a general surgeon for an appropriate planned management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
