Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pus filled lump on left inner thigh close to scrotum. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction, improper hygiene, rosacea , side effect of certain medicine , impetigo and hormonal changes. It could be due to frictional heat produced in body. Need not to worry much. Apply cold compresses to reduce redness and itchiness .
I would suggest you to avoid any kind of cosmetic product , apply only petroleum jelly and take benadryl twice a day . You should consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order allergy test, skin patch test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may order antibacterial , corticosteroid ointment and anti fungal.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
