Suggest Treatment For Lump In Groin Area
Question: I have a lump in my groin the skin surface in red but not raised. I have had many boils in this area in the past 20 years. And it's starting to have that tingly sore feel to it but nothing for the last 4 days since I became aware of the lump
However this doesn't have the usual spot surface.
I have put some mupirocne 2% ointment on the area above the lump to see if it will draw the puss up.
But is what I discussed ubove sound like a cyst or boil or not
