What Does Hard Lump Between Anus And Scrotum Indicate?

I have a hard lump between my anus and scrotum. Basically smack dab in the middle. I thought it may be a pimple or ingrown hair so I tried squeezing it. It s now been four days and it s now tripled in size and about the size of my thumb and the mass is hard.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

History is suggestive of perineal abscess. It is an infection that causes a painful lump in the perineum (area between the scrotum and the anus in a man). Consult a general surgeon for proper clinical examination and possible treatment involving incision and drainage of the abscess.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
