Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have cyst in groin with bouts. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like infection , hematoma , buttock injury , pilonidal sinus or sebaceous gland inflammation .Low immunity also play role , so take multivitamin supplement to boost immunity and quick recovery . Consult then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like blood test to detect septicemia , physical examination to check tenderness and consistency , ultrasound and take sample for lab test in severe case . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like clarithromycin at least for a week along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment . Doctor may also recommend surgical excision in cases of benign tumor . I would suggest you to apply cold compresses , keep the site clean and dry , apply over the counter antibiotics ointment and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
