What Does A Painful Bump On Scrotum Indicate?
Two days ago, I developed a small, painful to the touch, pimple-like bump at the base of my scrotum. I did some research which indicated I could apply a small amount of black drawing salve (ichthammol ointment) to it and cover with a band-aid. It seems to be working and now there is no pain in that area. Please advise.

Boils are common over that area. Usually small boils subside on its own after rupture or without rupture after some time. As you have taken care of your lesion, with positive results you may leave it for now to subside on its own. Or wlse you may apply oint soframycin over there for relief. All the best.
