Cause and cure for blood filled lump on scrotum
Patient: Hi, I had a hard bump about the size of a pea on my scrotum that was visibly dark underneath the skin.  I squeezed it like a pimple and, after putting on a lot of pressure, it popped and shot a large amount of blood all over the place but nothing more.  After cleaning and looking the lump is much smaller but only continued to bleed a little bit.  There was no pain when touched and I have put neosporin on the now popped lump.  What is this? Doctor: Hello,  It seems to be a superficial bacterial skin infection of the scrotum. You can apply topical Neosporin cream over that bump. Make that area clean and avoid tight-fitting cloth.   Wear loose underwear. If no improvement with Neosporin like antibiotic cream than consult surgeon for detailed evaluation.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
