Abscess in inner thigh
Common Questions and Answers about Abscess in inner thigh
abscess
What started as swelling from my lower calf has migrated to my inner calf, up to my knee, up to inner thigh, front of the thigh, and now, at the three week mark, it is on my hip. The mass is still warm to the touch, itchy, and has also left slight bruising and small residual bumps along it's path.
I have been to my family doctor twice since going to the ER and he has no idea what it is or what could have caused it.
From my recent research I think i may have a sebaceous cyst on my left inner thigh, next to my bikini line. I was just wondering how long I should try the warm compresses before I see a physician. It is slightly tender to the touch so I am a little worried it may be inflamed. Any comments would be appreciated.
About 10-12 years ago I started getting abscesses on my inner thigh and underarms. They hurt but I was always able to find the soft center and lance/drain myself. I was diagnosed with hidradentist suppurtiva at 22. Now I only get abscesses on my right butt cheek. I have had 9 drained in a doctors office/ER. I have tried 27 oral antibiotics, finding allergies to 6. I recently finished 1000mg/10 days of Clindomycin after having a third abscess drained in less than a week.
I have a very painful growth at the top of my thigh, not in the crease, but close to it. It looks like a large pimple. Very red and sensitive to the touch. It has appeared just before my menstrual period starts, grows and then "explodes" with pus and some blood. It has occurred for the past few months, consistently. I'm nervous about seeing a doctor, mainly because I'm not sure which kind of doctor to go see. Gynecologist? General Practitioner? Dermatologist?
While inspecting out 12 yr old short hair husky cross he noticed a huge swollen bump on her inner thigh. It had a white head on it. He grabbed gauze and popped it, but you can still feel stuff in there and around it is very swollen. she doesn't seem to be in pain. she is rolling around in the grass right now..and she is walking and was swimming just fine. what could this be?
About a week ago a bump developed on my inner thigh. I thought it would go away but over the next few days it grew very painful and got bigger. The pain became unbearable so I went to the ER. They lanced it and told me I had an abscess. They just put gauze over it and sent me away with antibiotics. Well it's been a week now and I'm worried how long before it heals? It is still draining I went to the doc yesterday and they gave me an antibiotics shot and did a culture.

I eventually noticed another on the outer side of my vagina (on the right side-same side as the leg one)... I get a pulling like sensation..I'm scared but I know it isn't an STD

About a year ago a hard red lump developed in my groin just to the side of the crease where inner thigh turns into genital. It wasn't painful if I recall (if anything it was never very bothersome, which is why I let it go so long) but over the course of the year I've developed another on the other side of my groin, in almost the same place; the two have also gotten larger and more sensitive.
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.

I can not tell between the two. They also come under my breast, on my waist, the inner thigh and the back of the thigh. They do not produce pain or cause any discomfort. They come and go, but when they return, they come in a new spot each time. I had a HIV test in 2008 when I was pregnant with my son. I had unprotected sex in 2007 about two times. After the last risky sex I got a test done. It was well after three months when I got the test. It came back negative.

My 12 yr old husky cross had a huge bump on her inner thigh today. It had a large white head on it. my bf got gause and peroxide and popped it and cleaned it. He said it still feels like that is stuff in it, and the area around the bump is swollen. She seems normal, no pain at all not even when touching the area. She was swimming today, running around, playing, rolling the grass and she is eating, urinating, and pooping just fine.
I have a large red bump on my inner thigh that's quite painful, it acually makes my muscle hurt for some reason. I've come up with a few conclusions but hope to get some input.
1) it could be foliculitis, an infected hair folicle
2) an infected gland
3) spider bite
I've attached this pic for diagnosis. I tried popping it thinking it was a zit but it just inflamed it more.
I have been having this awful burning sensation on my right leg going from my inner thigh all the way around my quad, to my outer thigh... it started about a week ago, and it was just in my inner thigh, so naturally I thought it might be chafing, but there is no marks and it is not red, then it spread to all the way around my thigh... what could this possibly be... I woke up this morning and it hurts again, do I need so see anyone... its a very irritating pain......
I am now having similar nerve pains (stabbing, burning etc) in my inner thigh on my right leg, which like the myalgia p. gets worse when I lie down to sleep. I am obese 90Kg and 5'6" female and 42 years old. I do not have any other health issues ( I have enough already!!!). My question is... could the different nerve issues be linked? or am I just very unlucky?
