Alright so, this is more of a guy question. But I'll take w/e knowledge and help I can get. It's kinda a long story, so bare with me.

So the other night I awoke in my sleep with pain between my left leg and my groin, kinda like the place where the two meet. I was laying so that my boxers had become tight in the area. I figured that i had been laying like that for some time, and the irritation had awoken me. I think what had happened was I created a laceration, almost like rope being wound around the skin. I rolled over and straightened everything out and then went back to sleep.

Over the next few days I noticed a sort of zit forming in the area, and the whole area was still kind of red. I would pop the "zit" and it was similar to a regular zit, but instead of being a pure white color coming out, it was more of a light brown. I kept popping it for a few days until the "zit" stopped returning.

I just checked the area again after two days of nto worrying about it. A sort of bump is sitting under the skin to my left of the hole where the zit would form. It doesn't hurt when I touch it or when I leave it alone. I had never really cleaned the area specifically. Obviously I clean my whole body, but I hadn't really paid it any specific attention. I just now shaved the immediate area around it, just like a few centimeters, and cleaned the area with rubbing alcohol. I figure it might be a back up of the fluid that was coming out. I'm not sure if I should be really worried about this, but I am worried and concerned.

If anyone has any ideas lmk. I go for my 18 year old check up soon. I'll ask about it then. For now I'm just going to see if it gets any bigger.

Yeah, just see a doctor. I don't think anyone here can accurately answer this for you. Just see what your doctor says.

Should I be worried about this? Should I just keep applying hot wash clothes till it goes away? Anything else I should know?

Most of the reading ive been doing says that boils are supposed to hurt a great deal. And I'm not experiencing any pain or discomfort.

Sounds like cellulitis. because you had an open cut there, theres a lot of bacteria in that area that can easily infect it. Theyll probably numb you up and drain it and give you an antibiotic.

Talked to a doctor in my neighborhood. Said its more likely a swollen gland than anything, and that in time if i keep clean it will just go away. And if it doesnt then I can just go get it popped if it really bothers me.

i wouldnt do that. just go to a doctor that is on the clock or at least go to a walk in clinic at least. "the neighborhood doc" probably wants you dead for your wife. if you have one. or your "Mercedes"

could be a boil or something more serious like a staph infection.get it checked out by a doctor to be safe.if it is an infection and you dont treat it they could have to amputate the infected area.im not kidding either i worked in an infectious disease center for awhile.
