How To Treat Small Lump Between Scrotum And Anus?

I am a 34 year old male and recently had a small lump between the scrotum and anus. I have seen a specialist and he recommended that I put on mupirocin. Started two days agon and suddenly the lump started growing and aching. It was not pain before. What is this?

Hello
Thanks for query .Painful lump on perineal region is mostly due to bacterial infection of soft tissue in the perineum (Perineal Abscess )

Any topical antibiotic ointment like Mupirocin will not help to resolve it .You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily orally .

If does not subside within a week you may need to consult qualified General Surgeon and get it incised and drained under anesthesia.
