### input:
My 34 year old son has a lump on his left thigh between his scrotum and leg. It has a burning sensation, and is painful to walk or move. He thought is was an ingrown hair and tried to squeeze it, then swelled and turned to 3 lumps. as of now the swelling has gone down. The lump appeared yesterday, today he is sick, with body aches, goes from chills to hot, and feels sick to his stomach. Is this viral, maybe an infected lymph node? The only thing he has taken is a cold & flu tablet thinking he had the flu. YOur thoughts?

### output:

Hi, Dear,Good evening. Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query in-depth. In my opinion the painful lump on the thigh, mostly-is due to the -fungal skin-infection with multiple boils(Jock itch)-as it increased in number after squeezing./ or it could be -Boils-with spreading infection due to squeezing/ or could be infectious mono / or could be LGV. The clear history of squeezing lead to 3 lumps from one-leads to -fungal infected boils with secondary infection leading to chills and fever-due to aggressive spreading bacterial infection in the groin skin. Treatment-A-Good groin-skin hygien-with dilute detail /betadine-would go a long way in controlling these lumps in the future.b-Tb-anti-fungal for chronic infection-, antifungal creams / and appropriate-Antibiotic cover to control infection-under cover of ER-Skin doctor, would fix your lump treatment. This would require consultation of ER-skin doctor / ER-physician / and or ER-Surgeon in the treating team. Hope this would clarify the worry you had. Would love to Welcome your queries to Chat Doctor.
