What Causes Lump In Scrotum Getting Bigger In Size?

I have a lump on my scrotum. It is getting bigger quickly and is turning kind of purple in the middle, like a hematoma. It started a couple of days ago but has really increased in size today. I have a Dr. appointment on friday but I am concerned about how rapidly it is changing.

Hi.
This is an abscess of the scrotum and needs urgent care.
The cellulitis ( swelling and infection) can really spread very fast.
Do not wait.
Visit any Doctor to get a clinical examination done and
get started with a broad spectrum antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines cover.
