Can I Apply Foban Cream For Boil Near Scrotum?

Hi Doctor.. I have a boil near my scrotum close to the penis... It has drained some pus out but the surrounding is still hard and I think there's still some pus left. Can I apply foban cream on the opening? Is there any other medication that I can apply like Tea Tree Oil to ease the hardness and remove the pus? Thanks

Hello
Thanks for query .

You have developed staphylococcal infection of hair follicle (Boil) over genital which has popped off and draining little pus .

The hardness around the pimple is due to induration of a subcutaneous tissue around it .

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefotaxime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

It should get resolved within a week .
