Hi doctor,
Can you tell me what this growth on my scrotum is and possible treatment options? It popped out about nine months ago and has been of the same size for seven months. It squishes out some white stuff every morning. All my vitals are normal, and I am healthy. I put some iodine on it after I squeeze out a small amount of white pus every morning. Thanks.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. It looks like you have an epidermal or sebaceous cyst of the scrotum. They are benign, noncancerous skin cysts and can happen anywhere on the skin. Scrotal cysts are common and may discharge a cheesy white material if pressed or ruptured. The cyst has a sac, in which this material keeps forming from the wall of it. Curative treatment is surgical, in which the doctor needs to remove the wall so that cyst will not come back. It is a minor surgical procedure and can be performed in the outpatient department. Take care.
