What Causes Painful Open Sores In The Groin Area?
I have two small painful open sores in my left groin area between my scrotum and the crevasse where my thigh starts. I have no other symptons or issues but they have been there for a little over a week. What could this be? I clean the area daily with peroxide and apply Neosporin. There is no pussy, blood or any other stuff coming from the area. Basically it s just a small open sore that is painful and my left pelvic lymphnode is a little swollen I am assuming due to a possible infection it is fighting?
