Hi Doctor, i discovered very itchy but painless 5 or 6 small swellings on my testis. There are 2 as well in the shaft of my penis and 1 the tip of my penis but these ones are completely itchless and painless. They come often and seem not to ever go. Worried. Can you advise please?

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have multiple sebaceous cysts over scrotum.

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 they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)
