pustules

Tags: pustule, bladder

Hi,

I am 23 yrs old and 'bout 4 yrs ago i started observing small pustules that formed on my bladder. They do not burst and seem to be beneath the outer skin layer...this has since been troubling me and i find myself mentally distressed. kindly provide some advice as to why these might have occurred? was it due to some puling out of hair? and how i may cure them. thanking you,

matt

I think that you are referring to cysts that are occurring in your scrotum (your bladder is inside your pelvis and is the place where your urine is stored before you urinate). Men frequently develop cysts which are similar to pimples and are not a problem as long as they do not become infected. You can have them surgically removed or opened and drained, but they may well reform after drainage. Do not squeeze them as they may then become infected and require antibiotics and ultimately surgery.
Rarely these may be skin tumors. If they are growing in size, I would suggest that you be seen by a dermatologist or urologist.
