I have been suffering with recurring groin abcesses for 2 years and to date I have had to have 4 of them surgically drained, numerous courses of antibiotics and an op to remove the tissue to see if this could get rid of them. The last op I had was earlier this year to drain it. I had the follow up with the surgeon a little while ago and scanning my records he decided that the only thing left to try and eradicate it forever was to have a big square of skin removed from the area, the tissue underneath removed and then skin grafted back over the area
I have been tested for absolutely everything to try to find the cause of these stupid things and everything comes back clear so they think the cause is just bad skin and tissue in that area I was kinda hoping that he'd forgotten to refer me to the plastic surgeon as I haven't heard anything for a while but I got home from work and there was the flipping letter telling me I have a consultation on the 3rd Nov. Judging from the time frames the ops not gonna happen til next year but I know that if it works it'll be worth it so I'm feeling worried and excited at the same time - weird I know!!
