What Could Red And Leathery Like Scrotum With Puss Like Bumps Suggest?

Hi, I have had a couple different symptoms here lately. One is one side of my scrotum is red and leathery like with no flaking of dry skin and the second is on the opposite side and has puss like bumps. Any idea of what this could be? I've been to the doctor before for this and was given a cream and it went away.

Hello
Thanks for query.
The red leathery skin of the scrotal sac is mostly due to fungal infection and needs to be treated with topical anti fungal ointment Meconazole twice daily .

As regards small pus filled spots on other scrotal wall are mostly Sebaceous Cysts .
Normally these cyst if small fade away without treatment however if infected you need to take antibiotics like Doxicycline twice daily for a week,

Ensure to observe proper personal hygiene by cleaning genital area with warm soap water.twice daily.

With this treatment it should get cured within a week.
