Suggest Remedy For Swollen Lump In Scrotum & Anus
My husband has a painful swollen lump about one inch in diameter between his scrotum and anus. There looks to be a small cyst type lump on top of the swelling that is light in color. It is hard to the touch with a ball like feel under the swollen tissue. Pain is a 4 sitting, with touch goes to an 8.

This looks like an abscess. Does he have fever?
Local examination is necessary & as early as possible because if its an abscess, should be drained early.
In my clinic, I first do blood sugar level, routine haemogram; if diabetic, sugar control, broad spectrum antibiotics, pain killers and then incision & drainage of the abscess, packing cavity with betadine wick. This pack is gradually reduced in size over days.
Hope this information is useful to you.
Thanks. Regards.
