Swelling From Anus To Scrotum, Lump, Difficulty In Walking And Sitting. Applying Hemorrhoid Cream. How Can I Overcome This?
Hi I have swelling starting at my anus leading almost all the way to my scrotum.
It started about 5 days ago! Was half the size at the time, I have been applying hemmeroid cream for about four days now and it seems to be getting worse!
I am almost unable to walk or sit! But can lie down relatively without pain.
I haven't had any problems with urinating!
The lump seems to become more irritated after walking and definitely sitting!

Welcome to HCM.
Painful swelling from anus to scrotum is most likely due to development of cellulitis or follicullitis.It may be infected external piles.
It usually occurs after improper hygiene,severe perspiration,tight under garment.
You have to start proper antibiotic like amoxy/clavulinic,moxifloxacin.
Take nsaid to subside pain,swelling.
Local application of fusidic acid will be helpful.
You have to consult surgeon to confirm the diagnosis and proper management.
Surgical removal is required if not subside with oral medications or in case of recurrence.
