General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Most probable diagnosis is infected sebaceous cyst in the groin area with burst open hole and clear liquid discharge from the cyst. Many cases respond to oral antibiotics and sterile dressings and some cases do require an excision of the cyst under local anesthesia for best resolution of the condition and cure. Till that time, local cleansing with antiseptic liquid and application of polymycin cream will help to better extent.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
