What Causes Sensitive Painful Hard Skin Of Testicles?
Furuncle/Boil
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query and I have understood it. I have also looked at the Image.
I would keep a possibility of Furuncle/boil, which is bacterial infection of the hair follicle with surrounding cellulitis. The infection usually gaining entry through the hair follicle.
The best way to approach is to start on an empirical oral antibiotic for a week OR 10 days (My choice of oral antibiotic would have been Amoxycillin 500mg in combination with clavulanic acid 125 mg, thrice daily, for a week OR Cephalexin 500ng thrice daily OR Cefadroxil 500mg twice daily, for a week). This would take care of the infection.
An OTC antibacterial cream/ointment e.g 2% mupirocin can be applied twice daily.
An OTC pain killer e.g ibuprofen once or twice daily would help you deal with the pain.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Topical antibacterials like Mupirocin ointment OR Neosporin Ointment, can be easily obtained since they are OTC.
I am not sure whether you can get Oral Antibiotics OTC??
I think they would need a doctor's prescription for Oral Antibiotics. You need to check with them.
