I have hard, itchy lumps on the scrotum. What is it?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have lumps or cysts on the scrotum for a year of around eight to nine in number. They are of different sizes. There is no pain but I feel too much itching on the skin of the scrotum. When I touch them they feel a little hard. By seeing the photos which I have attached here for your reference please tell me what it is.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the photos (attachment removed to protect patient identity) you have attached. You are suffering from scrotum steatocystoma multiplex. It is a type of sebaceous cyst. They are benign; do not have any chance of malignancy. So, if they are bothering you then you should go for removal. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Thank you.
