What Causes An Itchy Pinkish Small Bump On Scrotum Area?

I have noticed a pinkish small bump on my lower right scrotum area. i have had a bit of itching in the area and noticed the bump about five days ago. It is not painful, but a bit irritated. Any ideas of what this may be before I consult my family doctor?

Hello
Thanks for query .The pinkish bump on scrotal sac is most likely to be A Sebaceous Cyst .However diagnosis can be confirmed only on clinical examination in person by a qualified General Surgeon or urologist .


The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.

Normally they fade away without treatment however need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

You can take antibiotics like Augmentin twice daily for couple of days ..
If does not subside consult qualified Surgeon for clinical assessment and further treatment
