Bump Between The Scrotum And Anus Getting Bigger. Sever Pain And Bruising. Need Immediate Care?

I have what started out as a small hard BB like shaped bump located on the area between my scrotum and anus. It's closer to my scrotum just at the point it ends. It's centered right Inthe middle. I noticed it while showering 3 days ago. Now it has gotten much bigger like the sive of a quarter and is turning a purplish black color and is extremely painful. I'm going to the doctor in 2 days but I am worried I should go sooner. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
From history it seems to be hair follicle infection turning into forming abscess.
Consult doctor as soon as possible as once pus is formed it is to be excised and removal of pus is to be done.
Just now if you start antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines, there are all chances of stopping pus formation and will heal quickly.
Ok and bye.
