most helpful answer a staph infection in the testicle area is painful in itself let alone have an abscess surgically lanced. i have done this procedure on a number of patients and as careful as i am to limit discomfort there is still pain involved. just using lidocaine in this area is painful to inject and often very difficult to even use. many abscesses have just a thin layer of skin over them. in order to numb this area the lidocaine has to be injected in the skin not underneath in the pocket of pus. this can be very difficult. sometimes just a quick puncture using a sterile scalpel is less painful that trying to numb up this challenging area. hopefully you are on the proper antibiotic and treatment regime and better by now. if the staph infection was caused by shaving you may want to consider going back to au natural again.
to dr. moser i hope you read this. thank you for answering my question. some more information would be appreciated. it was a staph infection that was in his testicle area. i know the needle would've hurt. but should he have felt much more after that. it was a min or less that the dr. waited before he started to lance the infected area. it was a very small incision that he made. no bigger than the tip of a pen
