Suggest Treatment For Swelling Lateral And Inferior To Scrotum

i am a 22 yr old male.. and i have a tender swelling lateral and inferior to my scrotum. i cannot describe how it is because i have not looked a at it since i cannot.. the sewlling is associated with pain.. my condition is acute in onset(about 5 days) the pain is of piercing type and is relieved by postural variation and hot water wash.. recently i visited a dermatologist and he told me it was a Fruncle and prescribed me with Cefadroxil 500mg BD and an NSAID.. but my acctuall problem is that today morning it ruptured in my sleep and started draining pus(the pus was pink in color.) i cleaned out the pus and applied Betadin on the opining. since today is a Saturday no doctors are on duty at the hospital. so would it be wise to wait for tomorrow

Hello
Thanks for query .based on what you have described I would say that you had staphylococcal infection of hair follicle in perineal area which got ruptured itself.

Do not worry what you need now is to daily cleaning with Betadine lotion and dressing till it heals completely ..It takes long time for wounds in this region to heal .

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.
It will get cured within 2 weeks.
