What Causes A Growth Noticed At The Thigh Area Which Has Pain And Pus?
Hi, I have what feels like a growth the size of an acorn on the inner thigh where the leg meets the body. Just noticed it. It isn't very painful, but when pushed some pus comes out of somewhere. Female, 175 lbs, 5'4. I'm guessing an infection? How can I get rid of it?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The history and symptoms suggest that you may be having a small boil but it should be confirmed by physical examination.
For the present symptoms I would suggest you to follow
1. Give hot fermentation to the area.
2. Apply topical T Bact cream.
3. Oral antibiotics like tab augmentin for 5 days.
4. Oral NSAIDs to relieve the pain.
Thank you.
