Persisting Infection In The Groin Area. Pus Filled Cysts Formed. Need A Permanent Cure

Hello, I have a persisting infection in my pubic groin area. For the past year it comes and goes regularily and almost always is infected. I believed it to be an ingrown hair but most recently I went to the hospital because a hole appeared there and I was told it is a cyst . This keeps happening in the exact same spot and I apply warm compresses to it and blood like pus usually oozes out of it. I have now been to another doctoe who doesn t think its a cyst? How do I stop this from continually reappearing and is it possible that it is a cyst?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

Your cyst like skin problem is probably Hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic recurrent scarring skin disease usually located at axilla and groin. it need some drug treatment and some surgical procedure to remove that. you should consult a dermatologis/ dermato surgery center.



this skin condition has some association with hormonal status, excessive sweating, life style, obesity etc.

hope you will recover soon.

With regards,
