How To Treat Abscess Between Rectum And Scrotum That Started Out As An Ingrown Hair?

My boyfriend has an abcess between his rectum and scrotum that started out as an ingrown hair. It is now very long and hard,when i squeeze it i get puss and blood and it is very painful. He has stated that it feels like its in his scrotum. He is not liking the idea of going to the Dr.but i don't know what else he could do. I'm just trying to get some kind of idea what this could be,and what we should do.

Hi,
From history it seems that your boyfriend might be having abscess in anal region.
If abscess is already formed then it requires excision and drainage of pus followed by regular dressing.
There is also a possibility of having Fistula in ano.
Consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
