I have a very painful lump in my groin which the doctor has told me is a probably an infected hair follicle. This lump has got larger over the last couple of weeks and I have been given antibiotics after my third visit to the doctors. The dr hasn't really explained how long this will take to clear or even if it will at all . Please can you advise anything that will help
Hello Welcome to healthcare magic forum Thank you for your question.' I am Dr Gaurav Patel ,dermatologist. I understand your concern regarding your skin problem. Large lump may be due to bacterial infection. You need to take care for it for 2 weeks. Please take medicine accordingly to doctor advise. Better to apply good antibiotic cream over it.
