Pimple On My Scrotum With White Filled Puss. Should Be Concerned About It?

Hi
I have recently found a pimple on my scrotum sack. its a single pimple. with white filled puss. Im just curious if its something that I should be concerned about or if its simply just a pimple. its not itchy and it isn't painful at all. I popped one and it went away and now I have another one a week later. I normally shave my pubic area pretty short however its been a couple weeks so Im not sure if that has anything to do with it.

hello,
Thank you for posting your query. The condition you are describing may a sebaceous cyst which is actually a collection of a material secreted by your sebaceous glands. Such cysts are pretty common in those areas and mostly asymptomatic. Usually i would not advise any active treatment for it unless it becomes red and painful, which is mostly due to secondary bacterial infection. For cosmetic purpose you may get it removed via simple excision procedure from a surgeon or dermatologist.
