What Causes Painful Pimple On Groin Area?
I have a small (size of tip of my pinky finger) almost zit like thing in my groin that just showed up. Its slightly bruised looking tho I haven't touched it. It feels like a pimple that can't come to a head. Not hot to touch, not hard, but its tender like a zit...?

Hello,Welcome to the HCM.
It can a boil or swollen lymph node ,because of local infection.If you get fever or other symptoms of internal infection ,you must be checked by a physician.Other wise get proper hygienic measures and apply antiseptic ointment two times a day.
If it increases in size gradualy then you may need some antibiotic (amoxicillin) to eradicate the infection.

It is tender to touch and is a single lesion . It may be the inflammation of your hair roots. We can't comment much on that without seeing picture of the lesions . You plz consult a dermatologist for the same but if it is not possible u can use topical antibacterial ointment .
