A member asked:
My boyfriend is concerned about a bump on his scrotum that seems to be getting worse it has dry skin and red around it, but no fever or pain symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often a minor issue: This is often a small infection at the base of a genital hair that can grow to become a bigger abscess. Moist heat can sometimes help this drain naturally but it may need to be evaluated & treated with more aggressive means.
