Hi! thanks for sharing your problem with us!

After going through your description, if I were your treating physician for this case of painful groin / waist-line lumps, I would like to have a culture sensitivity report first of all before anything else as it is very necessary to first identify the offending organism and I would like to consider following possibilities:

1. tuberculosis of lymph nodes

2. atypical tuberculosis

3. acute suppurative lymphadenitis

4. boils, syphilis, chancroid

5. lymphoma

A simple needle biopsy can also help in this case; therefore please see a surgeon for a definitive diagnosis and to discuss the possible line of treatment as this could be antibiotics with or without surgical debridement / excision of the lumps;

regards!
