What Causes Itchy Rashes On Scrotum?

I have an itchy rash on the right side of my scrotum, it has developed white heads with what looks like a black dot in the middle. Not sexually active, have never even touched anybodyelse. I accidentally scratched one of the white spots off, and it was like a pimple, more of a white paste.

Hello
Thanks for query.
Based on your statement I would state 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.
