Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Scrotum

My scrotum is swollen on the right side with a hard spot around my penis. This just started a few days ago. I had an ingrown hair that I was squeezing out and I felt a small pop that wasn't the ingrown hair. Over night it started to swell, it's now around the size of a lumpy grapefruit. A small blood pimple appeared, and after a sleepiness night. I used a razor and popped it, in which around an ounce of bloody puss came out. The swelling is still there and now I have drainage of bloody puss

Hello
Thanks for query.
Based on your statement it seems that you had a staphylococcal infection of hair follicle (Boil)over Peno-scrotal junction which has complicated in to an abscess which you have drained yourself .

The present situation is that you have developed cellulitis of the scrotum due to scrotal abscess .

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory medication like Diclofenac twice daily .

Proper cleaning and dressing of the would every day with Betadine is mandatory to help it to cure .

Hope this should get cured within 10-15 days.
