Suggest Treatment For Inflammation In Inner Groin

Within a week ago I had inflammation in my inner groin. Then a mass appeared. It had the shape of a long cylinder. It then got worse until I finally burst. White puss, blood, and a cloudy maroon substance was produced. Now there is a clean hole where the mass broke. What is it?

Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
It sounds like you had a fairly large abscess that finally ruptured. Now that it has spontaneously drained, you are left with the cavity or cyst that contained the pus and blood with its opening at the skin surface. If all the infection and inflammation is gone, the cavity and the hole should heal up in a week or two. Keep it clean and watch for the redevelopment of infection. If there is still inflammation or pus draining, you might need to see a doctor to be sure all infection is drained out and you may need antibiotics. Hope this helps.
