A large boil next to the scrotum may be caused by folliculitis or an infection resulting from blocked sebaceous glands. This condition is usually accompanied by local redness, swelling, pain, and may be accompanied by fever.
If a boil appears near the scrotum, it may be caused by friction on the skin, buildup of sweat, or a bacterial infection. This is often more noticeable in hot weather or after prolonged sitting. The pain may be dull or sharp, and the duration varies depending on the severity of the infection.
Another possibility is a deeper skin infection, such as an abscess. If a boil is accompanied by severe pain, fever, increased local skin temperature, or pus discharge, it may have developed into an abscess and requires immediate medical attention.
An important piece of information that patients must know is that if a boil is accompanied by severe systemic symptoms, such as high fever, chills, or a rapid worsening of local symptoms, they should seek immediate medical attention. Avoid squeezing the boil themselves to prevent the infection from spreading. Individual differences are significant, so for any persistent symptoms, it is best to seek professional medical diagnosis and treatment advice.
