Skin infections: Pus filled bumps on the skin are usually the symptom of a skin infection. When they become red, warm to touch and painful it is called cellulitis. Treatment of this includes oral antibiotics and occassionally drainage. See your doctor, because resistant infections are becoming more common and require special treatment.

I have a small pimple on my scrotum. I popped it a few days ago & white puss came out, I figured it would have been gone by now, but its a little bigger and squeezed more white puss out. Ingrown hair? Sign of STD? No other sore or symptom?
