What Causes Swelling And Bleeding Between Thighs And Scrotum?

My husband has a 1-1/2" long, 1/2" wide black swelling on the area between his inner thigh and scrotum on the right side. It has been bleeding significantly for 2.5 days. He's been wearing pads there to absorb the blood. He had a scrotuma absyss in May which resulted in surgery to drain, debreed. 15 days hospitalization, 6 days in rehab. Could this current situation be related?

Hello
Thanks for query .

Your husband had scrotal abscess which in May and was drained and now has developed swelling on the inner side of thigh close to scrotum which bleeds.

The swelling in the thigh is mostly infection of the subcutaneous that has spread along the fascial plane and needs to beconfirmed by clinical examination by a qualified Genral Surgeon .

Please consult the operating surgeon who has carried out drainage of scrotal abscess .

In the mean while take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.
