What Causes Lump With Brownish Pus On Inner Thigh?

Hi my husband has had this big hard lump on his inner thigh. He says he s had it for years and it didn t cause him any pain. One day out of curiosity I pressed on it and this really foul smelling brownish pus came out. It frightened him and he never let me completely clean it out nor has he consulted a physician. What could this lump be and can ir effect his health if left untreated?

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to My HCM Clinic.
I studied your query in details and understood your health concerns.
-Treatment Advise and Cause of your lump in the inner thigh-
a-In -my opinion-it is Chronic furucullitis-which is recurring.The pus that came after pressing suggests that abscess was present inside without much of the pain and soreness to him.
b-Treatment I advise-is as follows-
i-AS its long standing lump -?Chronic furuncle with abscess I would advise -
FBS and PPS to rule out the diabetes in him-as a cause of it.
ii-The Chronic inadequately drained abscess needs further incision and proper drainage.
iii-Antibiotic Cover with Tb NSAID for 5 days would resolve the issue forever.
Consult your ER Surgeon for this.
This advise would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
Hope this resolves your query.
Wellcome for further query in this regard.
Have a Good Day...!!
With Regards
