question: I have 2 large painful lumps/bulges on the left side near my thigh and scrotum and they almost seemed like they are puss filled bumps but I am not sure. It seems like they are getting worse over the past few days and I was wondering is this some kind of infection or is it something more severe like a hernia that may require surgery. This seems to have just started happening about 4-6 days ago and seems it gets worse everyday as the bumps seem more painful to the touch.
