I'm worried because I think a fire ant might have bitten my testicle sacks. They're swollen now, and at first, it was really itchy, but that part has stopped. Should I be concerned about the swelling? What should I do next?

Question

I'm still dealing with a pretty bad infection on my inner thigh, and even after taking and applying Terbest like my doctor suggested, it hasn't gotten any better. It's been over a month now, and I'm not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on or what steps I should take?
