How To Overcome The Swelling And Itching On My Scrotum?
A few days back, i felt an itch on my scrotum and by mistake pulled out a hair root. Felt nothing at that time but i found a pimple like bump there. Initially it didnt hurt but 2 days ago it suddenly started bleeding. After the bleeding stopped i thought the problem was over but now it has worsened. The area around has kind of swelled and it looks like it is filled with pus. Although the lump itself doesnt hurt but the swollen part hurts like hell. What should i do? Please help.
