Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for the whitish bump over the scrotum area.
After analyzing the complete query with diligence let me reassure you first that the condition is not related to anything serious and appears to be simple boil only.
To tell you simply regarding this conditon - our scrotal skin has my tuple oil glands which can get blocked. These blocked oil glands have a tendency to get inflamed and then infected by bacterial proliferation.
This causes whitish collection of sudden nature and red base indicates the inflammation around it.
I suggest you to not to touch or pinch or pop the area as can get further infected. You can apply fucidin cream over the affected area and can take an anti inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen or diclofinac or paracetamol for early recovery.
I hope these informations will help you.
