How To Treat Wound From A Pus Filled Bump On Scrotum?

My husband has a small marble sized puss filled bump on his scrotum. He is 59 yrs old and has never had anything like this before. He just squeezed it and an enormous amount of bloody puss came out. He washed it and we put a small bandaid on it. What else can he do? Is this something serious? Could it be caused from sweating?

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

Yes it is usually caused by a blocked sweat glands that becomes infected. Personally I would be more comfortable if he is on some form of antibacterial (oral or topical) since the scrotum is always infested with bacteria and the infection might worsen. Clean it also with soap and water two times a day and dab it with beta dine every washing. Any sign that it is worsening then see your nearest physician.
