I have a lump on my inner thigh the size of a nipple. When I squeeze it, there is something inside like blood or pus. It is a bit annoying when I wear pants, the friction it creates. I have had similar and in the same location but never this size. I think its causef from chafing as I am 40 lbs overweight. Can u tell me what to do to make it go down until my dr appt in a week? I dont want to go to an ER...
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The history and location suggest the possible cause could be hair follicular infection with collection.2. Next possible cause could be subcutaneous infective abscess / collection.3. In the both cases in small and not compacted state a course of antibiotics will help in treatment.4. In case of complicated state a small incision and Chat Doctor. 5.Finally, till you get treated as a remedy - do not squeeze, press, scratch the lumps (in that way you will complicate), maintain local hygiene, clean with antiseptic liquid, avoid clothing that irritates that area - soft clothing suggested. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/
