Why I Feels Like A Lump However On Inspection It’s Red, Shiny And Scaly?

Posted on 8 hours ago

Question: Hi, I’m male and I have had a painful 1cm lump on my mons pubis for the last three weeks. I’ve also noticed a slight ache in my right testicle. The lump has not changed at all. It’s not weeping or bleeding and I’m currently not sexually active. It generally feels like a cyst. However I’m concerned due to it not improving. FYI I’m 29 and have a history of Crohn’s disease which I’m on azathioprine and adalimumab for. Your opinion would be appreciated.

Brief Answer:
Can be infected cyst.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I think it can be a cyst . Taking count that it doesn't hurt and you don't have other symptoms of infection it can be a cyst.
It can be infected cyst possibly by ingrown hairs which is making you feel pain in testicles.
You can upload a photo of it on reports.
It can't be related to the medications you are taking.
You may need to drain it open in doctor's office.
