Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Leg

I have a very painful lump on my inner leg/but area. I ve had this twice before and they have ruptured on their own but it takes a couple of days to rupture. The pain woke me up around 3 this morning and now can not go back to sleep. I ve taken sitz bathes and have been taking aleve for the pain. I can barely walk because of the pain and now just laying in the bed is uncomfortable. Can anyone tell me what this might be and if I need to go to the doctor ?

Hi. You do need to see a Doctor as the pain is severe and it has already happened twice earlier. By the history you give it seems like an abscess of some kind. Might be a perianal abscess. Therefore you might need a course of antibiotics and a minor surgery to remove the pus inside if any. Do not worry but please see a Doctor who can examine you and advice the best treatment.
Take care.
