Abscess in groin area
I have an abscess right where the inner thigh meets the perineal area. It's about 2cm long. It's red and swollen. It's very painful (throbbing). I cannot walk or sit without screaming out in pain. I first noticed it on Friday, July 21st. It got bigger and more painful day after day. I have no fever or chills.
