Suggest Treatment For Folliculitis On Scrotum

Oral and topical antibiotics
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin condition.
As per the keen review of your picture and history, it seems you have got folliculitis or sebaceous cyst with secondary infection.
Anyways at now the condition is infected so it has to be dealt with first.
I would advise you 5-7 days treatment of oral antibiotics like cefadroxil and clavulanic acid or amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. Analgesics like panadol should be taken thrice a day for few days.
Apply mupirocin cream thrice a day over affected area.
Seitz bath or sitting in lukewarm water of tub thrice a day will also provide so relief.
After complete resolution in one week try to post me follow up picture so that we can know if there is any sebaceous cyst or not.
Hope you will be fine soon,
Thank you and take care,
