Patient's question:
Recently, a pustule-like itchy sore has appeared on my testicles, and when I touch it with my hand, it feels very painful. I haven't been doing anything special lately, nor have I been using drugs with my friends. I don't know why this situation has reappeared again. I would like to consult on what to do.Doctor's answer:
The testicles develop boils again, accompanied by local itching at first. This condition is primarily caused by local infection leading to folliculitis. When this occurs for the first time, it is crucial to pay attention to local hygiene. Ensure proper cleansing and use an antiseptic solution like povidone-iodine or alcohol for sterilization. Appropriate use of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications can help combat infection. During treatment, avoid scrubbing and excessive manual squeezing.
