An inflammation has developed on scrotum with pus flowing out every few days. This inflammation or large acne has been on my scrotum since one and half month. It is painful but bearable. Similar inflammation had in past developed above penis. This had taken place twice in 2018, 2019. The treatment performed by doctor was a minor surgery. Another time the dermatologist had prescribed microdox lbx. But this time the lab reports of the sample collected from pus showed that my body is tetracycline resistant and hence I am advised to take amoxicillin 500 mg tab flemiclav for 5 days twice a day. I would appreciate help to know the actual cause of problem leading to this inflammation repeatedly. What care should I take after completion of this course so that such inflammation or acne does not develop again.

Hello. For now control the infection by taking proper course of antibiotics as prescribed by the dermatolgist. Find out the cause of such recurent pus filled lesion and then definite treatment can be planned. Be under regular follow up with the dermatolgist. Thanks.
