Hi,
You have aggravated the primary condition by applying black pepper.
Most probably black pepper has shown its irritant action.
You can start taking oral analgesics and oral antibiotic like Amoxycillin + cloxacillin.
Clean the area with plain water and apply some plain topical antibiotic cream. Do not use dettol or any other soap or harsh chemical.
Visit a dermatologist as soon as possible.

Hi,
For your boil, you need to take a good oral antibiotic and a painkiller, also clean the area with warm saline water and apply an antibiotic cream. At the same time, I would advise you to consult a dermatologist as there could be multiple causes for painful pus filled lump in groin area. Take care.
