You know, this case reminds me of the time I got this pyogenic granuloma.
...on my sack.
I didn't know what the hell it was. Thought it might have been a venereal disease because apparently I'm an idiot, so I went to a VD clinic to get checked out because it was free and I'm also cheap. After I came out clean, I registered to see a doctor, and since I'd just moved downtown and had yet to register with a regular physician I had to wait about two months or so for an available appointment. I go in, she don't know what the hell it is, so she points me to the direction of a dermatologist. And that's another two or three months of waiting. And keep in mind, this whole time I'm dealing with
a small red meatball of constant pain along my scrotum with blood and pus continuously seeping out
. Think I went through five boxes of band-aids. Finally I see the dermatologist, she identifies what the hell it is and offers to snip it off for me. I had to get two locals into my nuts beforehand. As she scraped it off and cauterized/welded the wound, I felt nothing below the waist. Also got checked for cancer while I was there; nothing.
Lesson learned: see a doctor regularly.
