A member asked:
Scrotal skin infection. huge swollen lump. on keflex and neosporin. swelling going down very slowly. been a week. how long till swelling is gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Days-week+: As long as the swelling is going down you are moving in the right direction. If the swelling increases in size then go back to your doctor. The time it takes for the swelling to completely clear depends on the size of the swelling originally and your compliance with the medicines. Usually 1 -2 weeks should do it.
