How To Overcome The Hard Lumps On My Inner Thigh?

Hi, I am a 32 year old female, about a month ago I had a cyst develop on my finger by the nail it was very painful but eventually popped and went away, right after that I had the same thing develop on my gums, that went away now I have two hard lumps on my inner thigh close to my bikini line, I had been having a problem with ingrown hairs so
I stopped shaving about two months ago. These lumps are not anything like the ingrown hairs, could all of these be connected?

Hi. Thanks for asking on HCM

Recurrent infections need a few basic investigations like Complete hemogram, Blood Sugar and Pus culture/sensitivity.

I would advice that you take a week of oral antibiotics along with application of a topical antibacterial like mupirocin 2% ointment twice daily for a week.

Follow up with your doctor along with the test reports.
take care
