What's your opinion on this matter
Brief Answer:
Sebaceous cyst likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I have seen the attached mage. This seems to be a small sebaceous cyst or an infected hair follicle. You may require antibacterial ointment and local hot compression to treat the condition. Other supportive treatment like mild pain killer is also advisable.
In addition, you would maintain genital hygiene properly and wear loose fitting underwear (cotton). Do not scratch the area or wipe out. Avoid using chemical substances (soap/ detergent) around genital area.
It will gradually subside on its own. No need to worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
