Suggest Treatment For A Bump In The Groin Area

Hello. The other day when I was in the shower, I noticed a bump near the crease between my thigh and vagina. I ve had this before and it went away, but now it s back. Today when I was changing my pants, I noticed a small little cut-like thing near there as well. It looked like there was dry blood, so I used tweezers to try and pull it off so I could clean it just thinking I somehow cut myself. When I pulled, the inside of the cut or hole began to come with it so I stopped. It started bleeding a lot and it looks like there s bruising around it possibly, but I m not sure. Is this serious? When I felt it, it seemed like a hole and I m freaking out. Please tell me what to do.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to yeast infection. A swab will be helpful to confirm it. For this I would suggest using anti fungal creams like miconazole ( monistat ) for local application. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area. You can use just warm water. Using intimate wash daily is also good.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
