What Does A Lump Between The Leg And Scrotum Indicate?

I have a lump in the crease of my leg between my leg and scrotum. Feels inflamed and hurts. Started as small lump under skin a couple weeks back. Got bigger and formed a head that burst about a week ago and felt a little better after squeezing it to help drain puss and blood came out. Couple days back resurfaced, much larger, hurts much worse. Any ideas?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
There are many possible causes of a lump between scrotum and legs or on any other part of the body.However, a lump that drains pus when squeezed is an abscess.You may drain the pus and if the bacteria infection in cause is not treated, recurrence is possible.This is likely what you are suffering from.I will suggest you try the following:
-Take a penicillin group of antibiotic like cloxacillin as germs that cause abscess respond well to this molecule.
-Pain/antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen.
-Good groin/genital hygiene
-Regular drainage and dressing if pus still collecting.
Hope this will help
Best regards
