How Can A Recurrent Thigh Lump With Pus And Blood Be Treated?

I have a bump on my inner thigh, that clears up and then comes back. It grows rather large and with very little pressure will "pop" open. A thick yellowish white pus comes out at first that smells like rotting flesh, then a very dark blood will appear. It will stay drained for a day or so then come back. It cleared up completely some months back when I was on antibiotics for a sinus infection.

welcome to Health care magic.

1.Its infective aetiology - painful lump with discharging pus infected cyst, abscess.
2.It can be treated with a course of antibiotics normally - but in your case it recurrent.
3.The treatment is small incision and drainage with cleaning with antiseptic liquid, and good dressing - good post operative care, with antibiotics will heal permanently.
4.Get an appointment and plan for incision and drainage.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
