What Causes Lump On Thigh Oozing Pus And Blood Upon Popping?

Doc, I had a lump appear on the inside of my thigh, after a few days of not hurting it became extremely tender and puss filled. Yesterday it popped, leaking puss and blood mixture after which point i cleaned it and bandaged it. I took a look today and there is now a blackish purple discoloration and is very hard (almost like scar tissue) there also appears to be a large hole where the lump burst. The extraction point and surrounding area are not at all troublesome and do not hurt. What is the lump?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lump in pus and blood. You may have acute inflammatory lesion with abscess formation or tuberculosis with abscess. You should go for pus culture and sensitivity test as well cytology. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

If is simple abscess then go for incision and drainage with antibiotics. If it is tuberculous abscess then you should take anti tuberculous treatment.

Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
