What Do Hard Lumps On The Thighs And Groin Indicate?
I received results from an STD screening, and I tested negative for everything (HIV, HSV 1 &2, syphillis, gonnorhea, chlamydia). For a while now I have been getting these hard lumps on my thighs, groin, and in my buttocks. They do not itch, but the ones on my thighs and groin sometimes pop and pus comes out. What could it be?

As per your history is concerned it is due to viral infection with secondary bacterial infections.so medications you can try safely is -
1)ZOVIRAX
2)PREDNISONE start with 20 mg tapper gradually over 10 -15 days
3)IBUPROFEN if pain,if no pain and fever no need
4)vacccine (Zostavax),if avalable in your area
Do a TWBC count if higher add cefixime 200 mg twice a day for 7 days
Thanks,
