Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had an ingrown hair on the middle of my shaft for 4 days now. I woke up yesterday and right side of my shaft was swelled up right above where the ingrown hair is and it is an inch by inch in diameter maybe more. And also got swelling or pain on the right side of my groin a bubble that started to hurt this morning also.
Hello. I would advise a visit with your GP or an ED eval as soon as possible for incision and drainage of the developing abscess you describe. You will likely require a 7-10 day course of antibiotics as well. Be well.
