I've got this boil on my scrotum, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend any medicine or treatment for this? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to help prevent infection and promote healing. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any pain or discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
