What Causes A Soft Lump In Scrotum?
Hi I have a lump on the side of my scrotum right where it begins to transition into the space between the scrotum and the thighs. I squeezed it and puss came out but the lump is still there. It is tender to the touch and it s hard. Should I go see a doctor?

Hello
Pus discharging lump may indicate infection.
You may need clinical correlation and antibiotics.
You may also need ultrasound of involved area to exclude other possibilities.
It is expected to respond to antibiotics.
Surgical drainage may be needed in non responding cases.
You may also need routine investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar.
Get well soon.
