Hi! Thanks for sharing your problem with us! After going through your description, if I were your treating physician for this case of painful groin / waist-line lumps, I would like to have a culture sensitivity report first before anything else as it is very necessary to first identify the offending organism and I would like to consider following possibilities:1. Tuberculosis of lymph nodes2. Atypical tuberculosis3. Acute supportive lymphadenitis4. Boils, syphilis, chancroid5. LymphomaA simple needle biopsy can also help in this case; therefore please see a surgeon for a definitive diagnosis and to discuss the possible line of treatment as this could be antibiotics with or without surgical debridement / excision of the lumps;regards!
