Hello, Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
You have not mentioned your age, sex, your exposure history, any lymph node enlargement in groin and for how long you have this problem.
It can be a STD or merely a sore due to irritation. But in absence of any exposure, it can be taken as soreness due to irritation. You can apply antibiotic gel like ciprofloxacine get to prevent further infection and make it heal fast.
A course of oral antibiotics may be taken if it does not heal within a week.
Hope this will be helpful.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks.
