Suggest Treatment For A Hard Lump Above The Genitals
hi.I have a hard lump right below the front of my waste, above my genitals. I am a male. Yesterday, it was like a pimple and I squeezed some white stuff out of a hole in it, but now the hole is no longer there and it is under my skin. What do I do? Is it cancer?

hi,
thank you for asking on HCM.
as per your history, you may have folliculitis.
my treatment advise would be:
-- apply fusiderm cream over the lesion twice a day.
-- you may take tab ibuprofen for pain.
-- it will subside on its own with 5-7 days.
-- dont worry, it is not cancer and white stuff protruding from it may be pus.
if persistant or increases in size, do consult a doctor nearby.
-- it may be abscess which needs to be drained.
wishing you good health.
thank you
