What Causes Itchy Pimple On Scrotum?
Question: HI I HAVE PIMPLE LIKE SOMETHING ON MY SCROTUM. IT ITCHES ALSO SOMETIME. WHAT TO DO SIR
Brief Answer:
Sebaceous cysts over scrotum, harmless
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have seen the attached picture . You seem to an having multiple sebaceous cysts over the scrotum .
Now such type of lesions are very common over the scrotal region .
These are basically harmless skin lesions and can be left as such in case they do not cause too much discomfort . The only option of treatment for these lesions is to get them surgically removed.
Itching over the scrotum can occur either due to scrotal eczema or due to fungal infections in the region. These sebaceous cysts are usually asymptomatic in nature.
Only if there is any sudden swelling or pain in these lesions, should one consider getting them removed .

Brief Answer:
Sebaceous cysts over scrotum, can be left
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Certain people are just predisposed to develop such lesions . These are basically cysts that develop in the oil glands around hair follicles . They are actually harmless in nature. Only rarely can they swell up and can get rarely infected in which case the person might need to be treated with oral antibiotics .
You can leave them as such. They might increase in number or remain stable. One cannot really predict but there is no medicine to stop them from forming.
Even if you plan to get them surgically removed , it won't have any effect on your sexual life. But the only problem is that since they are multiple in number, so surgery may need long term post operative rest.

Brief Answer:
Scrotal eczema
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Itching over the scrotum is not due to sebaceous cysts. It can either be due to a mild fungal infection or due to scrotal eczema.
You can apply candid b cream over the scrotal region twice a day for a week. This will take care of the itching.
You can use razor for hair removal. It will not cause any harm.
