Red, Puffy Mass On Testicles And Lump Between Thigh And Groin. What Could This Be?
I have an itchy irritation on my testicals it has been there for a couple weeks or longer it would seem to get inflamed a little so I would apply antibiotic cream and I would forget about it for a couple days well this went on for a couple 2 or 3 weeks then I woke up one morning and I had a blistery sore like red puffiness about the size of a dime that was about an eighth of an inch raised off of the skin on my penis well I started applying nystatin cream for fungal infection. I assume this is jock itch well I have been applying the cream for about a week and the itch irritation is pretty much gone and the pain from the sore on my shaft has eased considerably but this evening when I got home from work I had a small pain from the crease between my leg and my groin up high about 2 or 3 inches below the belt line so I applied pressure and theirs a small knot or toughness about the size of a bb or a pea and the skin right below this where the effected sore would have laid against the leg has a raised puffy mass about the size of a cigarette lighter that seems to have fluid behind it maybe but is red and puffy but no itch really I do not wear underpants if that matters at all I don't know I just want to know if these symptoms are consistent with jock itch

Hi It can be a tenia, a fungal infection.And the lump should be lymph node most probably.If it is that you should be treated with antifungal ointments of clotrimazole or miconazole or terbinafine atleast for one week and fluconazole tablets 150mg weekly once per os for 4 weeks.This can clear up your infection.But better rule out with your physician.Hope this may help you. thanks
