Hello, so I went to the beach a week and half ago. While at the beach I noticed I had this this hard firm lump under my skin in the side of my upper leg (groin area). This lump caused the skin right above it to become red. I did the only thing a paranoid man and was to squeeze it. It popped and white puss, clear liquid and a little blood came out. The lump remained under the skin but wouldnt Pop anymore. The lump slowly kept getting smaller and smaller and the redness seemed to disappear. This went on until today it became very bright red again and I popped it again. This time a small amount of white puss came out and a lot of clear liquid as well. The lump appears to be basically gone. The skin around the red area is kind of firm so I can t tell if that s the lump still or what. The area also hurts to the touch.Could this be herpes? Or what? I am very paranoid. Thank you for your help
