I was checking my scrotum and I felt a zit like bum under my skin. I squeezed it and it hurt bad. So I stopped and it turned reddish purple. Then for the next week it surfaced and kind of looked like a zit, or bug bite. It hurt and seemed infected, so I put benadryl on it and almost instantly the pain went away. It scabbed up and went away within 8 days. What could this be?
Hi, Usually, zits are caused by bacteria due to dried sweat in the area the dried sweat will block the sweat glands and it would cause accumulation of fluids thereby causing the zit or what we call a pustule. I suggest that you should make sure how to wash and dry when the scrotum becomes sweaty. It is also advisable to change underwear every day or if it becomes too much sweat then you should change twice a day. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
