[|Human|] Hi there, I had an abscess drained about four weeks ago and my wound was packed. Have seen the nurse every few days and have been advised wound is fine and has healed. However since Saturday I have a hard lump attached to my scrotum and it is the same as previously had before drained. Can you advise what I should do? Is this normal for abscesses to come back so soon?
[|AI|]  Thank you for your query. You are probably suffering from Sebaceous cyst of scrotum, which are getting secondarily infected, resulting in abscess formation. The infected ones are operated, as because they are multiple, and the symptomatic ones are left alone. Hot fomentation, local antibiotic ointment application and oral penicillin are the main stay of treatment. Please do also check your blood sugar levels, and ensure that you maintain personal hygiene. Take care and get well soon.
