What Causes Swelling From The Ball Sack Towards The Anus?
About 3 days ago overnight I had some swelling about an inch long that stretches in a straight line from my ball sack toward my anus. It is sore when touched and when I walk. What could have caused this and what can I do to possibly get rid of it. I am 47 years old and have never had this before.
I have gone through your query. From your symptoms it seems that you are suffering from perineum infection. It can be due to many reasons and you have not mentioned any other associated condition like:
You can get back to me with other history or consult a local dermatologist for clinical examination. Keep the area clean and dry. Local application of antifungal ointment containing clotrimazole can help if it is a fungal infection, which is most common.
