Hello
Thanks for query.

Based on your information I would state that your boyfriend has infected sebaceous cyst over scrotum.

The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.

Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Ask him to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmnentin and anti inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac twice daily for a week .

If does not subside ask him to consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

If needed he may need to get it excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac under local anesthesia..
