I am a 34 year old male and recently had a small lump between the scrotum and anus. I have seen a specialist and he recommended that I put on mupirocin. Started two days agon and suddenly the lump started growing and aching. It was not pain before. What is this?
HelloThanks for query. Painful lump on perineal region is mostly due to bacterial infection of soft tissue in the perineum (Perineal Abscess) Any topical antibiotic ointment like Mupirocin will not help to resolve it. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmenting along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. If it does not subside within a week you may need to consult qualified General Surgeon and get it incised and
