Brief Answer:
There is no proven cream to cure.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow-up.
I am sorry to say that there is no proven cream that can cure such big sebaceous cysts on the scrotum. Betadine will help to avoid the secondary infection and the complications thereupon.
Occasionally these may open and heal on its own.
The small ones may get reabsorbed by your body.
Please consult your General Surgeon for proper care.

I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries.
