Brief Answer:
You have Sebaeous Cysts on scrotal wall.
Detailed Answer:
hello
Thanks for query ,
Based on the facts that you have posted the hard ,painless pimple like structure on scrotal wall present since long duration are Sebaceous Cysts .
The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if larger and increase in size or get infected.
Consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
If they are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the wall of the sac) .
Do not attempt to pop them out as there is every possibility of them recurring again the cyst wall being remain intact and the sebum secreted from the wall of the cysts gets recollected again .
This is simple surgery done as a out patient procedure under local anesthesia,and offers permanent cure .
