hello, i need a urologist i believe. i have a cyst i think on my right scrotum and it is painful. i am not sure how to explain it well. its not puss inside and its not releasing blood. its slighlty red and a bit darker now because ive been trying to squeeze it to pop it thinking it would be puss. im a 22 year old male who is fit and healthy but it has caused problems with my running its very hard and almost like a quarter of an inch protruding from my skin. its about a quarter inch in diameter. ive never seen this before but its definitely right underneath the skin or has molded into the epidermis. any recommendations to deal with it cleanly would be of a great help.
Hello, I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It is nothing but a Sebaceous cyst. Because you have mentioned that it is underneath the skin and molded into epidermis.Thus, it is not a testicular or epididymis cyst. Luckily this is a harmless cyst and also benign. Probably the cyst might get infected now. That is why you have redness and pain over the cyst. You need the antibiotics like flucloxacillin and metronidazole (as it in genital area, anaerobic infections are common) and painkillers like Ibuprofen. A course of antibiotics will usually clear an infection if it occurs. Once the infection is cleared, you may consult surgeon and completely excise the cyst. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.
