[|Human|] A few days ago I began feeling pain in my groin region, then last night the pain increased dramatically and I felt a solid lump. I then decided to go to sleep through the pain and awoke this morning due to the pain being too plenty. I thought it may have been some sort of cyst, therefore I soaked myself in a bath with salts to try to burst it. Once I removed myself from the baths, the pain increased again, however, about 20 minutes later, I sat down to self examine and as I sat down, it burst. The discharge was a dark bloody colour at first, with a yellowish puss. Then as more flowed out, the colour went to a lighter red, similar to that of a light bleed. I was just wondering what to do next.
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Based on the history provided, you had an abscess which is a localized collection of pus. This is usually associated with a painful lump that discharges pus and blood. Most of the pus should have left the collection area but in some cases, small pockets remain that result in recollection. If possible, it would be best to be seen by your doctor so that the area can be explored gently in the office to make sure no more pus is present. Antibiotics are also suggested. If exploration is not an option at this time, you can consider cleaning the area with an antiseptic and applying a bandage with a topical antibiotic along with magnesium sulfate paste. Magnesium sulfate paste encourages foreign material to discharge. Cleaning and application should be done twice daily. I hope this helps
