How To Heal Ruptured Cyst With Visible Hole And Constant Drainage On Left Side Of Scrotum?

I have what started as a cyst on the left side of my scrotum along the crease of my scrotum and inner thigh. it burst and now there appears to be an open wound with a very visible hole in the center of it. Drainage is constantly coming out of it without pressure. I went to a urologist and he prescribed an antibiotic. It is now worse.

Good Day and than you for being with Healthcare Magic!

It is important to get a culture of the fluid because depending on your location it might be tuberculosis of the scrotum. Culture will also help us with the antibiotic to use. If a trial of the antibiotic is not working an ultrasound might be helpful because there might be an abscess formation inside and a drainage procedure might be needed for your lesion to heal properly and completely.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
