Suggest Treatment For Persistent Infection In Groin Area With Pus

Hello, I have a persisting infection in my pubic groin area. For the past year it comes and goes regularily and almost always is infected. I believed it to be an ingrown hair but most recently I went to the hospital because a hole appeared there and I was told it is a cyst . This keeps happening in the exact same spot and I apply warm compresses to it and blood like pus usually oozes out of it. It pains a bit as i were my pants exactly same place. Kindly suggest me what to do

HI,
I understand your concern.
The prolonged & repeated infection indicates healing .
-low resistance
- inadequate treatment/wrong choice of antibiotic
- unhygienic condition.
- Uncontrolled diabetes
You need investigations like- CBC, fasting & post meal blood sugar,culture & sensitivity test of the exudate from infection. along with complete physical check up .
This would pin point the diagnosis & treatment plan.( best advised by a skin specialist)
Apart from regular medication for prescribed period,you will have to take
- tonics/nutritive diet for raising resistance.( proteins, iron, vitamins specially vit. b&c)would help.
- good control of blood sugar in case you have diabetes
- adequate local management in form of removal of hairs, keeping the area clean, dressing if advised.
thanks. -
