    A small hole in the scrotum that continues to bleed may be caused by scrotal eczema, herpetic lesions, sebaceous cyst infection, etc. Symptomatic medication is required according to different causes.

    1. Scrotal eczema

    The scrotum is often in an airtight area. It may be affected by environmental factors, mental factors, etc. It may cause eczema. Local infection may cause bleeding. You can follow the doctor's advice and use topical boric acid solution, potassium permanganate solution and other drugs for wet compresses, which can promote recovery.

    2. Herpes lesions

    Viral infection may cause herpes lesions in the scrotum. After local pustules rupture, small holes may appear in the scrotum, accompanied by bleeding. Antiviral drugs such as acyclovir tablets and oseltamivir tablets may be taken orally as directed by your doctor.

    3. Sebaceous cyst infection

    Failure to do a good job of local hygiene may cause sebaceous cysts, which may lead to bleeding when infection occurs. Surgical treatments such as puncture drainage and cyst resection can be performed as directed by the doctor.

    In addition, it may also be caused by testicular tumors and other reasons. It is necessary to go to a professional hospital for relevant examinations and treatment after the cause is clear.
