Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM.
Possibly this is a infected follicle (folliculitis).
Magsulf dressing or some incision drainage may also required.
Some time uncleaned smegma may also cause such problem.
Along with this he may also be given analgesic and and antibiotic if required.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
