Hello and welcome,

I understand the issue. However I am not sure about where exactly the groin wound is. If the wound is reaching inside the vagina then you may have a vaginal discharge.

Cellulitis is mostly red and inflamed area that may or may not ooze. It is tender and warm to touch.

The management is mostly antibiotics and also it may need a dressing or debridement depending upon its state.

So discuss this with your doctor and then go ahead with the treatment.

Hope this satisfies your query.
