boils on testicle

Guest · Guest

my boyfriend came home yesterday with a boil on his inner thigh and he drained it covered it up with a bandage and when we woke up this morning he had two on his testicles I want to make sure that they are boils and he also stated that they didnt hurt the only way he knew they were there when he was taking a shower. So the questions is that should we be worried and treat them as if they are boils and put warm rag on them or could it be something else??

If they looked like boils with white stuff inside and could be squeezed, then they are probably squeezed.

If there is no white inside but clear liquid and it could be herpes.

Sebaceous cysts that are very similar to boils (but hard to squeeze and shouldn't been done so) often appear on penises and testicles.

I would advise to wait for a few days or maybe apply warm compresses to see if something changes.

If they scab and crust, it is herpes if they drain white stuff, they are boils.
