1657607 tn?1302276679 I am a BIG guy 350lbs. I have on my upper leg in the crease between groin and leg a lesion that is very sore and bleeds constantly. The area stays moist most of the time. The lesion is swollen and hard and has an round opening where it bleeds. The soreness has expanded to my pubic hair area. Any ideas what it could be?
Avatar f tn Hello, You are correct because it can be a cyst or abscess in the perineal area. It does not look like Bartholin’s abscess. There are glands in the vaginal lips called Bartholin’s glands. These can become painful and swollen, and an abscess can form but they present on the vagina and not the groin. She needs incision and drainage and a course of oral antibiotics as soon as possible.
Avatar m tn 4 years ago, i had a skin abscess in my right side near the groin (as shown in the photo link below) it drained on its own but i went to a doctor and he just gave me antibiotic, after 4 years i seeked medical care because i had some concerns about the scar, the doctor recommended an ultrasound of the internal organs of the groin area and i did it and there was nothing, i feel no pain but i'm still concerned, is this really a scar? photo link: https://imgur.

Avatar m tn Hello Recently I have had two surgeries to remove an abscess in my groin/left thigh. The First operation occurred two weeks before the second. I'm now 8 days post second op and the wound is healing well and I thought all was going to be ok but the nurse who comes daily to pack and redress my wound is very concerned about the large approx 8cm long hard lump that surrounds the wound. She applied pressure and squeezed it alot yesterday and now the whole region is painful again.
Avatar m tn Dear Guys, I developed abscess three times with in two weeks interval in my groin area.....the last two were big and required surgery with full ansthesia. My doc therefore suggested to escape the shot at least for one week so i did not take the shot last week. I continued to take it again but I developed another abscess on the preannal position. I am afraid it will force me to discontinue the therapy. Has any one exprienced such problem during therapy?

Avatar m tn Some possibilities for this growth include swollen lymph nodes, infection, or abscess. Are there any growths on your penis or scrotum? The main concern is cancer, but only by seeing a urologist and having a biopsy of the growth can help determine this.
Avatar f tn I still have the swollen node in groin. I do have a chronically infected pilonidal abscess, which i guess could be causing the node swelling?
Avatar m tn I was travelling for a month and was having problem in my groin area. My scortum was too sweaty and itchy all the time. Further, on itching , powder like flakes will fall from my scortum and later whole scortum will burn for hours. Cleaning it with cold water and putting some oil would help for few hours only. I couldn't do cleaning every two hours because I was travelling. Coming back home , I read online about ii and symptoms look similar to eczema.
Avatar n tn dont know if this is right category but I had a cath done 2 weeks ago and have a small hematoma at groin that is not visible externally but confirmed on ultrasound. Is this a problem that can evolve into something serious?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with MS in Feb of 2011. My symptoms started with tingling/numbness in my feet that worked it's way up my legs and into my groin area. The symtoms have subsided in my legs and groin area, but the tinglin in my feet has never gone away. I've also been experiencing daily tremors and twitches. Within the last week, I've been experiencing pain behind my knee and last night I felt a bulge. It is not an abscess, but more of a swell.
Avatar m tn Straight to the point. For about a week now, my entire groin area has become red and irritated. It itches and burns constantly. The red area extends from the space between my scrotum and rectum up to the creases between my legs and groin. It has not reached on to my scrotum or penis. Some areas have become a pale nasty color. The inner walls of my thighs have become swollen, making it very difficult to walk without pain.
868949 tn?1239589229 * Furuncle or carbuncle -- An abscess in the skin caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. It can have one or more openings onto the skin and may be associated with a fever or chills. They are less common than single boils; they are most likely to form at the back of the neck and in males. Carbuncles can form in the same areas as boils, and may also form on the scalp, face, and buttocks. Furunculosis is a word that is sometimes used to refer to recurrent boils.
Avatar f tn Just say you have a painful blister in your groin when you call for an appointment. If the receptionist tries to put you off to another day, ask to talk to the nurse, who will be more likely to understand it is an infection that is very painful and needs immediate attention.
Avatar m tn This has been going on for about a 2 years. Sometimes it happens every few weeks, sometimes a month, or sometimes I'll get 2 within a few days of each other. I can always tell when there is going to be a breakout, because it will feel like my pubic hair is sore, probably near the base of it. The breakouts always consist of a small cluster of about 6 different sized white pimple like blisters, with red irritated areas around them. The breakout site usually is about a half inch in diameter.
5915949 tn?1396188227 The list of things that hurt alot when sitting on a toilet include (but are not limited to) are thrombosed external hemorrhoid or a perianal abscess. You may get some temporary relief with a sitz bath or a small amount of warm water in a bathtub. It does however really need to be seen and examined by a physician.
Avatar m tn I had a pain under neath my groin area, between the groin and thigh. It was red and I just assumed it was a bad stretch mark. Well just recently the skin split and it looks like a red tiny circle as if the skin had just disappeared. It hurts bad and has a cheese like smell around the area. I though it my just be jock itch but I've never had my skin split to the point of the skin actually disappearing. Any help would be nice?
Avatar m tn Hi everyone, for 5 years I've been haunted by this abscess in my groin/labia. It comes and goes, sometimes it's gigantic (REALLY) and sometimes just a painful, red, inflamed, deep seated "nodule" (so it doesn't disfigure me completely, but still makes it awfully painful to walk). I had the abscess drained at the hospital once (never again, the anestesia hurt like hell and did not numb the area at all... urgh!) and the material (the pus) was sent for culture....
Avatar f tn husband has a egg size lump in groin where leg meets trunk, no pain, all labs came back normal. Dr wanting him to MRI. what could this be?
Avatar n tn You could see if any of the draining areas have any evidence of infection, like tonsils, the skin, tooth abscess or an ear infection. Infections like tuberculosis can cause lymphadenopathy. It would be worthwhile to see if other lymph groups are enlarged namely, axilla and groin, these can be palpated. If persisting consult your doctor for an evaluation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
