Why Do I Have What Looks Like A Large White Head Growing On My Scrotum?
Question: i have what looks like a large white head growing on my scrotum
Brief Answer:
HPV or infected follicle
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This could be due to human papilloma virus infection if you are sexually active or could be due to infected hair follicle that lead to abscess formation. So, I would recommend that you get tested to exclude human papilloma virus infection. if excluded then please schedule with your doctor for pus evacuation and a prescription of topical and systemic antibiotics.
I hope you find this helpful. If you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
