Question: Well I didn't realize I was on a Q&A site. Maybe you can lead me in the right direction. This past week I found a small (pea size) lump on my perineum (sp?) behind my scrotum. It is hard to the touch and is painful upon palpation. My initial thought was it was some kind of deep pimple. It feels like it is definatley in the dermal layer. Initially I treated it with Clearasil and some Advil and warm showers. It seemed to go down/reduce in size. The past couple of days it increased in size and became painful again.

I'm thinking it is some kind of blockage or inflamed something or other. Maybe some kind of infection. I'm not sure. I'm a Firefighter/Paramedic so I have some knowledge but this is beyond my knowledge and to be honest I don't even know what type of Doctor to go to. Any info and advice will be greatly appreciated

A picture will not show much. It is just a lump under the skin. To be honest it is somewhat shaped like a tadpole. Larger and round at one end then it tapers down to almost a point. There is no discoloration in the skin unless it's irritated from me messing with it. I did try to pop it with no luck and I thought about lancing it. But decided it would be better to see a Dr. Like I said I'm not even sure where to go. Maybe a dermatologist? That would be an appropriate choice if it is cyst or similar.
