Patient's question:
A lump has grown on the surface of the right testicular ball, similar to a pimple on the face, located on the surface of the testicular ball on the left side. It is the size of a peanut and is slightly swollen and painful, with a burning sensation. When touched, it feels like inflammation in the right scrotum. The lump has been there for about a year. In the past, there have been instances of testicular pain, where it would hurt upon touching. Now, it doesn't hurt when touched, but it does cause discomfort, with a feeling of swelling and pain. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Mostly it is a heat toxin rash or the manifestation of folliculitis. In such cases, if it is small, you can initially apply ointments like ichthammol ointment or erythromycin ointment to reduce inflammation. For larger lesions, surgical methods may be required to completely remove them. Alternatively, anti-inflammatory medications can be used, and it is advisable to avoid spicy foods. The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high likelihood of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
