Suggest Treatment For Pimples And Boils On The Scrotum

Posted on Wed, 30 Nov 2016

Question: Hi I have a what was a pimple and then developed into a larger boil at the top of my scrotum and low end of penis.

It clearly has some pus inside it and has grown a little bit and is the size of a pea.

I am reluctant to have it drained and if possible find some alternative remedies as in an awkward position.

Having read everything about boilx to garlic extract is there anything you can please recommend?

many thanks

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I usually recommend my patients to take oral and topical antibiotics for the treatment of boil.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend take tablet linezolid 600 mg twice daily for 5-7 days along with application of mupirocin cream or fusidic acid cream on the boil twice daily for 7-10 days.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
