Patient's question:
A red bump has grown on the scrotum with a small break, oozing thick discharge and causing itching. I asked the doctor a few times what the condition is?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described and the uploaded images, the consideration is folliculitis, which is what the general public refers to as carbuncle. It is recommended to use povidone-iodine for local sterilization and anti-infection treatment. The condition of the testicles tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Moreover, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
