Have Lumps On Testicles. STI Result Is Negative. What To Do To Get Rig Of The Lumps?
Hi,
I have lumps on my testicles all different sizes from large like a pea to very small. I have had them for some time and decided to get checked for a STI which turned up negative the doctor told me they were "fat sacks" or "fat build ups" but did not tell me how I could get rid or them or cure myself of them. Can you help?

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have multiple sebaceous cysts over your scrotal sac.
Scrotal skin is very rich in sebaceous glands hence more prone to get sebaceous cysts due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally these cysts fade away without treatment ,however they need to be treated if get infected or increase in size.Please consult qualified General Surgeon or Urologist for clinical assessment and further treatment. You may need to excise some of them in Toto along with the sac under local anaesthesia(if they are large.)
