How Can A Lump On The Scrotum Be Cured?
Question: I got lump that came up on the inside of my ball sack last night
Brief Answer:
Looks to be infected sebaceous cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
From the short history this looks to be an infected sebaceous cyst.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Do not try to pop or fondle as this will increase swelling and spread the edema.
I think you need to take an antibiotic (needs a prescription) and anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen if it suits you.
Wait for a few days - it may settle on its own.
I hope this answer helps you.

Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
