Looks like sinus or fistula and epidermoid cyst, consult a urologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and the hole looks like either a sinus or fistula.
The White thing is looking like an epidermoid cyst.
What is the duration of these lesions?
Are you having any pain, burning or other symptoms associated with them?
Do you have any discharge from the hole?
You need to consult a urologist and get a work up done.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Detailed Answer:
For the white thing which is looking like an epidermoid cyst you can consult a surgeon or dermatologist and get it removed.
For the hole you may have to go for an ultrasound to get it evaluated as it is looking like a sinus or fistula.
