What Does A Growth Under The Inner Thigh Near The Groin Indicate?

I have two questions, My first is I have a small black growth under the skin on my inner thigh close to my groin region. Would you happen to know what this could be. My second question is about a medium sized pimple on my groin. It popped recently and I put poroxcide on the area yesterday, and now today it came back again a little bigger this time with a white head to it. Would you happen to have a diagnosis for this? I m a 22 year old male

Hi,

The black growth needs to be seen by a doctor to differentiate if it is a simple nevus or a more important skin lesion like melanoma. The pimple that popped and came back, if it is single pimple and you don't have other lesions and is there only for a few days very likely it is a follicullitis and in this case it is a self limiting condition and it should disappear in a week or so. If no improvement in a week, a medical check is needed.

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