Suggest Treatment For Swelling Near The Groin Area
He should consult dermatologist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It would be much better to consult dermatologist rather than family doctor. From your description he may suffer from hair follicles inflammation caused by bacterial infection. However in some cases infection looking issue can be caused by condition called hidradenitis suppurativa (so called acne inversa). This condition usually has to be treated much more aggressive than typical infection. And left untreated can spread to surrounding tissues and cause much destruction.
As the infection recurs, bacteria should be identified with swab test. Also diabetes has to be ruled out.
So dermatologist would be the best choice at this point.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
