Patient's question:
There is a large abscess outside the testicle on the upper right side of the root of the penis. It was rubbed raw while walking, and after being squeezed, a large amount of white substance flowed out. What should I do about a pea-sized abscess on the upper right side of the testicle's outer skin?Doctor's answer:
A pustule has reappeared on the scrotum, which is likely folliculitis. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes it is due to damp-heat accumulation in the lower body. It is recommended that you take oral anti-inflammatory medication and apply topical treatments. Avoid spicy and greasy foods, and wear loose underwear. If the medication is ineffective after three days, please seek follow-up treatment from a dermatologist promptly. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
