Hello
Thanks for query.

You have two pus filled boil on scrotum are not boil but infected sebaceous cysts .

The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.

Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.

If problem persists consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)
