How Can An Itchy Lump With Groin Dryness Be Treated?

I have a lump that is about the size of a pea located between my ball sack and thigh. It is actually at the base of where the ball sack meets the leg. I have also been experiencing dry scaly itchy problems in my genital are also. After scratching the area smells very bad and kind of oozes a sticky liquid. I am 28 and weigh about 190. Thanks

Hello, and thanks for your question.

This could be a serious infection called cellulitis related to scratching or possibly a fungal infection. You need to visit a doctor in-person for a physical exam to assess for these problems and to prescribe the appropriate treatment.
