Patient's question:
A lump has grown in front of the testicles, slightly swollen, but it doesn't interfere with sexual life. If it's touched, it might be a bit painful. It's a bit hard, but the testicles don't hurt. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You have a condition with hair follicle infection, also known as a carbuncle. It is recommended to take some anti-inflammatory medication orally, such as Amoxicillin capsules. Use iodine for local sterilization, then apply Bactroban or erythromycin ointment. The pus will gradually subside or break open on its own. Pay attention to hygiene and change your underwear frequently. The condition of the testicles tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, and maintain good personal hygiene.
