Saddle boil

[Dangermouse]

I had one a few months ago and it was quite painfull but I did manage to carry on riding untill it went naturally, now on sat morning I noticed something rather disturbing but not where you would expect a boil, it was a lump inside my scrotum and it was very itchy, I was alarmed but didnt think it was serious and could wait till today and a visit to my GP, so yesterday it had grown to the size of a lafge grape and was solid, I was thinking it maybe a cyst but when my Dr had a look today he told me its definately a boil and gave me some antibiotics to clear it, but boy is it sore now he has had a play around with it, Has anyone else had a boil in this place and how long was it before you could get back on the saddle, I did try an evening ride yesterday but only managed a mile and had to turn around and stand up all the way home.

Not supposed to, the antibiotics will work fine.

I've got a cyst on my undercarriage (Dr called it Papilloma) had it a while now, but I thought I would show the doctor he sent me down to the hospital it is now going to be removed in early December.

The Dr has given me antibiotics to try and get rid of the thing, but I never thought a boil/cyst would make me feel this ropey, or that could be the antibiotics kicking in, had to come home from work as I just feel unwell and my plums are rather sore now

A papilloma is a skin tag not a cyst (which is a capsule filled with fluid or puss).

So how do you get these cysts as I am a very clean person and take personal hygiene very seriously

Bacteria causes it and i would suspect a hair has been pulled out or perhaps you shave your bits and the bacteria gets into the hair follicle.
