I have attached pictures of the bump.
What could it be, furuncle, carbuncle, molluscum contagosium, inflamed sebaceous gland or cyst, or something else?
Hi,
\r\nWelcome to icliniq.com.
\r\nComing to the differential diagnosis and treatment:
\r\nChances of it being furuncle is less as it is a progressive condition and would have certainly popped out by pressing.
\r\nCarbuncle is the collection of furuncle, so chances of it again is very less.
\r\nSince you have a history of molluscum, it could be molluscum, but you have destroyed its classical morphology by popping it out in early stage.
\r\nIt can certainly be an infected sebaceous cyst or infected apocrine gland which are normally present in high number over the genital area.
\r\nYou were right of it not being any STD.
\r\nLymphadenopathy is a non specific finding and could be due to any infection involving the genitalia.
\r\nTake Amoxicillin-Clavulanic acid 625mg twice daily for 7 days.
\r\nContinue betadine lotion and do not try to pop it out.
