I have a acorn sized lump beside my left testical. A few days ago I squeezed it and got white stuff out of it. It has gotten so painful that I cant sit down. I tried squeezing it again but nothing comes out. Its really too painful to squeeze anymore. It is red and hot to the touch.
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though a personal physical examination would confirm it, from your history this seems to be an inflamed sebaceous cyst not uncommon in the skin of the scrotum. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to fiddle with it which caused the cyst to get infected and painful, prescribe you with a broad spectrum antibiotic, and an anti-inflammatory with a proton pump inhibitor which should be able to control the infection and the pain symptomatically. Once the infection gets controlled, I would advise you to consult a general surgeon for a surgical removal (a minor operation under local anesthetic) of the cyst for a complete cure and prevent recurrent infections. This should permanently solve the problem. However, if the infection does not get controlled at this stage, and an abscess forms, I would advise you for a simple incision and Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
