How Soon Should I See a Doctor? Posted: 06-14-06 07:28am
I found a lump on my scrotum skin. It was
hard at first and I tried popping it, but
it wouldn't pop. A few days passed and
finally I was able to squeeze puss out of
it. I've continued to squeeze puss out of
it for the past 24 hours. It never
actually "popped" just sort of leaks when
I squeeze it. Now, right under the lump,
my scrotum is a little red and swollen.
That might be from all the squeezing or it
might be an infection. It doesn't hurt.
In any case, I have an appointment to see
a urologist, but it is 4 weeks away. Is
this something I should be more concerned
with and push for an earlier appointment?
Or is it not as urgent and I can just go
in to see them next month?
I always hear that if you catch many
diseases in an early stage that they are
curable. But how soon must they be
caught?

Hi!
From what it sounds like you are not
having a problem with your testicles but
with your scrotum (skin) and this means
you should see a dermatologist. From what
you described it doesn't sound dangerous,
so relax.
Go and see a dermatologist. But you can
still go to the urologist just to get your
testicles checked. :)
