How To Treat Boil On The Lower Part Of Scrotum?
I have boils like problem in the lower part of the Scrotum for 4-5 days and it has increased only. I started applying a prickly heat powder in that area since day 1, but its not helping anymore. Sometimes I feel my uundergarments getting wet in that area(may be due to the fluid from the boils). I just bought a FourDerm anti bacterial creama and applied it today only but no effects. I feel like itching in that area, but I somehow control it. Any Advice on it??

Welcome to healthcare magic for your health concerns
I am Dr Fahim and I will help you with problem
I have gone through your question and under stood your concerns. Mostly likely it is scrotal skin infection. Prickly heat powder and even a bacterial cream won’t help when it is an advance stages. However, you need not to worry too much, it simple and treatable condition. If such a patient into my clinic I start with empirical antibiotic therapy of tab Augmentin 625mg 8hourly, tab ciprofloxacin 500mg 12hourly, keep the area dry and clean, apply betnovate ointment (Local steroid ointment) twice or thrice daily, take paracetamol 500mg thrice daily for pain relief and use scrotal support. You will be better in matter of days. Since these medications are prescription drugs you need to see a general surgeon.
I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it.
