Patient's question:
A hard lump has grown on the scrotum, and it hurts when touched. Upon closer inspection, it looks dark inside. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the return characters kept as they are:As you can see from your description, there is a hard lump in the testicle accompanied by pain. The common causes of this condition are manifestations resulting from a local skin infection, which is commonly referred to as folliculitis, or from blocked sebaceous glands spreading the infection. In this case, you need to sterilize to resolve the issue. The use of povidone-iodine for sterilization is recommended, applied externally. The testicle can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to use medications that address the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
