Do I Need To Remove Scrotal Cyst Surgically?
Hi,
I have a scrotal cyst and it burst without me applying any pressure, I then squeezed all the puss out and wiped it to keep it clean and put a plaster on it.
I don't think it's cancerous, should I get it surgically removed and what should I do if it gets infected?
I've read about getting 'the pea' removed, what's this? And does this mean that the puss will come back?
