What Causes Recurring Pimple Like Growth In Groin Area?

default
Posted on Fri, 19 Jun 2015
Question: Hello, I have an Issue I am concerned about.

I received unprotected oral sex recently from 3 dodgy women. Maybe 4 or 5 sexual encounters in total with them.

Sometime after maybe a few weeks I developed a small hard pimple lump in the groin area. I tried to bust it a number of times but it wouldnt. It was very hard. After a few weeks it disappeared.

Some time after that maybe a number of weeks I got what to me appeared to be an external pile in my anus. I went to a pharmacy and they gave me a bacterial wash and after about a week it disappeared.

A number of weeks again after that I developed what appears to be a one off pimple in my groin area. It never seemed to develop into a full pimple that you could burst the matter out of. But it was quiet sore and ozzozed some fluid material when I tried to bust it. A relatively short time after it disappeared.

At the same time as getting the sore pimple above I also noticed a very ever so mild what appeared to be a rash on my upper lip. It covered say less than half my upper lip but was hardly noticeable. It disapperaed in a short time.

Now again after a number of weeks a pimple in my groin area and a rash on my lip has developed in the same area as mentioned above previously.

I must also say that during the above time I had an eye infection and I attended a doctor in a local clinic who told me it was as a result as atmospheric pollution. He prescribed drops and some bacterial cream. I am currently living in an area where there is a lot of air pollution from oil refinery and sand in the air at times. This episode cleared up but did reoccur a number of weeks after. Again I got eye drops myself in a pharmacy and used the cream from before and it cleared in a few days. It briefy seemed to reoccur again a third time for a day or two at the most but went away agin and I applied some eye cream soon after to ensure it was gone.

Sorry I cannot be more specific about dates and periods but I developed the initial hard lump mentioned above in the 2nd paragraph approximately say 6 months ago.

Can I please have your opinion.

Brief Answer:
Needs further investigations.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From what I understand you have a recurring pimple like growth in the groin region. This may or may not be related to the unprotected sexual activity. However if I were your doctor, with such recurrent episodes of pimple like lesions in the inguinal region, lips and eyes, I would after a personal clinical examination of the lesion and your genital area, investgate you to rule out a STD specially if any of your sexual encounter was with a sex worker. The investigation would include a complete blood count, VDRL test, blood sugar, a culture sensitivity of the discharge from the pimple, HbSAg and HIV test. Further management and follow ups would depend on the results of the clinical examination and related investigations.

I am not sure if you had these investigations already. If yes, please share the results / upload it on this page. Else I will suggest you plan the tests.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear your concerns about your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
