Suggest Treatment For Painless Bump In The Genitals

default
Posted on Mon, 9 Jan 2017
Question: My boyfriend has a bump on his shafts that is a bump (thickness and height of the pink part of an eraser on a pencil) with a black dot in the middle of it. I was tempted to pop it but he wouldn't let me as he said he's had this since he was little. What could it be and is it safe?

Brief Answer:
Seems to be epidermoid cyst or scrotal calcinosis, upload pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
According to your history it could be either epidermoid cyst or scrotal calcinosis.
Both are asymptomatic chronic conditions but don't pose any serious side effects.
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
