What Could A Recurring, Rapidly Growing Lump In Groin That Fills With Puss Indicate, Tests Are Inconclusive?

hi I have a recurring swelling lump on/ around my groin. I have gone to 5 different doctors of which all said different things could be the cause. I was given antibiotics and the swollen bump would go away. It would reoccur months after. When it reoccurs it grows at a rapid pace and when it gets very big sometimes I experience a burning sensation that feels like trickling into my inner thigh. The last doctor I visited drained it and did a CBC and said there were no signs of infection in my blood. However when she made the incision the room had a foul sour smell. It only occurs on the right side in the same spot. It feels rubbery and is shaped like a lima bean. I don't know what to do can u help give me advice. I have never had it biopsied.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you are getting boil over groin repeatedly.

This is most likely to be due to infection of the hair follicle caused by organisms called Pseudomonas or Klibsiella .

This needs to be confirmed by doing culture and sensitivity test of the pus from lesion so that you can treat with appropriate antibiotic to combat infection.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for assessment and further treatment.

In the mean while take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.
