Have Tender Lump In Groin, Increasing In Size. Taken Antibiotics
Hello I had a question regarding a lump in groin . I have had it for about a month. Initially was a little tender but has become much more so and has increased in size. I went to a practitioner last week who gave me antibiotics. Took full dose for 7 days but has gotten worse. Recently did full std testing and know that is not a possibility.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The tender gradually increasing lump in the groin is likely to be an infected lymph node. This needs proper antibiotics- broad spectrum and anti inflammatory medicines for treatment. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
