Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have small white bumps in my testicles skin like pimples, one or two looks nearly 0.39 inch size. I am worried about this issue, usually, it will appear and disappear but this time it is not going. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From the pictures I saw (attachment removed to protect patient identity), those are called sebaceous cysts the small ones can disappear with time. Keep in mind you should keep the area clean and dry in summer like you can use powder to keep it dry but the bigger ones need to be removed. Do not worry, removal does not need admission. You just need to undergo small operation will numb the area with injection and remove the cyst putting one stitch then you can go home same day with antibiotic and Paracetamol. Follow up after removal is recommended just to make sure there is no infection on the wound.

I hope this helps.
