Question : Hello, It has come to my attention that some pimples on my scrotum are not disappearing. I’ve had them a while now and I’m getting a little concerned as to what they really are... would it be possible for you to tell me what they are and give me a few ways to remove them? I’ve researched about it myself on Google however their are many results and a few match the same descriptions as to what is on my scrotum. This is rather embarrassing so I appreciate the help, thank you

Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have read your query and noted your concern.

Perhaps you are talking about sebaceous cysts of the scrotum which are asymptomatic, yellowish bumps of variable size. Often they are multiple in numbers.

I request you to kindly upload some images of the scrotum in "Reports Section" so that I am able to have a look and guide you better.

Hope to assist you further once I get to review the images.

Regards

Thank you. I have viewed the images.
Yes, these are small sebaceous cysts on scrotum. They are harmless though they can be of cosmetic concern. Take care.
