My friend started complaining of this a few days ago. He could barely sit on his bike, but it's progressed to the point where he can't even do that now. He walks with a limp. They hurt at the slightest movement. I haven't seen them personally, but he says that they aren't directly on the manhood, but in the general groin area. They are about two times the size of a mosquito bite. There is a large circle as the perimeter, a visible circle, and in the middle is a bump. There are also many red, low-risen bumps on the outer edge of the circle. When he attempts to pop the bump in the middle, large amounts of yellow puss and blood come out. The puss is a lot, and stringy. He likens it to mucus. The blood continues to flow well after popping the bump. Sometimes the blood and puss are mixed together and stringy. He has six or seven of said bumps.
I told him to take a hot bath, with added salt, and stay in that mixture for a while. The salt should weaken the bump. I forgot the biological term, but it's what happens when salt hits a cell. Hypo-something and hyper-something. Anyway, the salt should weaken the bumps and cause the puss to transport out. The mixture should also soothe them. I also told him to treat with neosporin and bacatracin (SP) after popping them and definitely after the bath.
Any thoughts on what this could be? I was thinking tick related, since I found a tick crawling on myself about a week back, but I know where the tick came from. It did not bite me and I promptly killed it (Ticks are one of the creatures that I will kill without shame). This is not a high tick area. As I said, I know exactly where it came from, and my friend was not with me when I picked it up.
Any help is appreciated. I checked and will check WebMD again.
