Hi,greetings from HCM.from your description i think you may be suffering from inguinal lymphadenitis with abscess which if untreated it spontaneously bursts on its own and leave an ugly scar.you have to consult a surgeon and do a proper drainage of abscess with culture sensitivity of the pus and biopsy of the lymph node to check for a tuberculosis .
