A member asked:

My bf has a boil on the underside of his scrotum. what is the best way to treat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor : If it is indeed an abscess he needs antibiotics and possibly to have the abscess drained. Infections in this area that are left untreated can lead to serious complications.
