Scrotal Abscess Mimicking Fixed Drug Eruption Under Ibuprofen Therapy: A Diagnostic Pitfall

2026Open accessMohammed V University

Abstract

Concurrent NSAID therapy can pharmacologically mask early scrotal abscess, generating a presentation that fulfills clinical and historical criteria for fixed drug eruption. Ibuprofen simultaneously acts as a recognized causative agent and suppresses infectious inflammatory signs. Normal inflammatory markers and absent fluctuation do not exclude an abscess. Early scrotal ultrasound is mandatory.
