Question : I have a pain in my left groin and a boil beside it isn't sever but I'm worried
Brief Answer:
local skin infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
It looks like local skin infection called abscess caused by ingrown hair or skin injury during shaving. There is obviously bacterial infection and it can be treated by antibiotics or surgical drainage. It will probably rupture and drain spontaneously in few days. Bit if not or continue growing then it should be managed by incision and drainage by surgeon. Wish you good health.regards
