Hello
Thanks for query .
A sudden appearance of small ulcer over scrotal sac could be due to burst open boil or a sebaceous cyst and does not signify any major issue .
Take antibiotic like Doxicycline and Diclofenac twice daily with topical antibiotic ointment like Betadine for 5 days.
Ensure to was your genital with warm water twice daily.
It should heal up within a week .
