Suggest Treatment For A Painful Bump On The Inner Thigh

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzddQn-lRw8OU0dhU0U1Ul9VUTg/view?usp=docslist_api

I have a bump on my inner thigh that I thought was just a cyst. I had drained it and a white pus like fluid came out. The above link is a picture of it, I was a wrestler in highschool and am a little concerned that it is staff. Should I be concerned?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain the most common cause of a painful bump on inner thigh can be Hair follicle infection or Folliculitis, while it can also be a boil..
Other causes can be a cyst or an abscess..
I would suggest you to clean the area with a mild soap and clean it with an antiseptic solution..
Put gentle pressure over it to drain offpus to relieve infection faster..
Apply a combination of antibiotic and antifungal ointment over it..
In case of no improvement in a week consult a general physician or a general surgeon and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
