Patient's question:
A blood-colored bump has appeared on the skin under the testicles, which has been there for about a week. At first, I didn't think much of it, thinking it would go away in a couple of days. Now it's still there, even broken and oozing blood. I usually keep clean, showering once a day, and this has never happened before. Recently, I wore a very tight pair of pants. What should I do about the blood-colored bump under the testicles?Doctor's answer:
It could be folliculitis, generally caused by a bacterial infection of the hair follicles. For your condition, it is recommended to use povidone-iodine daily for two sterilization sessions to help resolve it. Testicular conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to immediately seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
