Suggest Treatment For Bump On Scrotum

Hi, I had a bump on my scrotum about two months ago. It was a hard bump, and I ended up popping it, and pus came out. I popped it a few times, and every time, pus came out, and the last time, there was a little blood. I have had no other symptoms in the genital region, but perhaps some other symptoms, like flu-like symptoms, and weird flashing pains all over my body from time to time. I received unprotected oral sex from a suspect girl a couple of months prior to these symptoms. Could this be an STD?

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

I do not think its an STD. Most common reason of such bump in this location is hair follicle inflammation. Especially if you have been shaving this area recently.
Draining the lump is the best method of treatment. So if this lump is not present anymore, no need to consult a doctor. Just keep this area clean and dry. Wear loose underwear.
If it reappear, please consult dermatologist.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
