What's wrong with the pimple on the testicle?

Pimples on the testicles may be related to folliculitis, sebaceous cyst, epididymitis, testicular hydrocele, genital warts and other causes. Pimples on testicles usually show symptoms such as local redness, swelling, pain, and itching. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment after the cause is determined.

1. Folliculitis

Folliculitis may be related to poor local hygiene, bacterial infection and other factors, and usually manifests as red papules, pustules and other symptoms. Patients can use mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid cream, erythromycin ointment and other drugs for treatment as directed by the doctor. Keep the perineum clean every day and avoid scratching the affected area.

2. Sebaceous cyst

Sebaceous cysts may be related to sebaceous duct obstruction, local infection and other factors. They usually manifest as subcutaneous round lumps with hard texture and other symptoms. If the cyst is small and not infected, it can be temporarily observed ； If the cyst is large or infected, surgical removal is required as directed by your doctor. Avoid squeezing the cyst to prevent secondary infection.

3. Epididymitis

Epididymitis may be related to bacterial infection, urine reflux and other factors, and usually manifests as scrotal swelling, pain, fever and other symptoms. Patients can use cefixime dispersible tablets, levofloxacin tablets, ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and other drugs as directed by their doctor. You should stay in bed and avoid strenuous exercise during treatment.

4. Testicular hydrocele

Testicular hydrocele may be related to congenital developmental abnormalities, trauma and other factors. It usually presents with symptoms such as painless swelling of the scrotum and a feeling of swelling. A small amount of effusion can be absorbed by itself, but a large amount of effusion requires sheath inversion or puncture aspiration as directed by the doctor. Avoid sitting for long periods of time and wear loose underwear.

5. Genital warts

Genital warts are related to human papillomavirus infection and usually manifest as cauliflower-like growths, itching and other symptoms. Patients can use imiquimod cream, podophyllotoxin tincture and other drugs as directed by their doctor, or receive cryotherapy and laser treatment. Impure sexual behavior needs to be avoided, and spouses should be examined and treated simultaneously.

When a pimple appears on the testicles, self-medication or squeezing should be avoided. Pay attention to keeping the perineum dry and clean every day, choose breathable cotton underwear, and avoid riding or sitting for long periods of time. The diet should be light and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. If the pimple continues to enlarge, rupture, or is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, you need to seek medical attention immediately to check for serious diseases such as tumors. Regular physical examination of the reproductive system can help detect lesions early.
