I have a cystic button (small mass) under the scrotum/perineum and it is painful. What should I do?

Question

I don't take any medication. I often have this type of pimples elsewhere. They are painful but they don't reabsorb themselves and I use Benzagel cream. Here it is in a funny place. I have had it for about 2 weeks. I used the Benzagel, it went down quite a bit and a few days later it came back even bigger.

Hello Sir,Even though it is unpleasant, I recommend that you go for a consultation. It is not normal for the lump to have subsided before it grows again. It sometimes happens that abscesses form at this place and cause a lot of pain if they are not taken care of quickly.If you don't want to consult right away, you can first try to put a wet and warm compress on the pimple at a rate of 10 minutes every hour in order to help it drain by itself.I'm sorry I can't help you in any other way.Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
