What Does A Hard Lump Near Scrotum Indicate?
Question: I have a hard lump on my left side in the scrotum, near inner thigh. Size is about an inch long
Brief Answer:
It could be Lipoma or Sebaceous cyst.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The swelling in the thigh could be Sebaceous cyst which occurs in relation to hair .
Another possibility is lipoma, accumulation of fat. But, lipoma is soft commonly. But it is difficulty to confirm the diagnosis with out clinical examination hence I request you to consult your Surgeon and get it removed surgically and send it for histopathological examination.
Exact diagnosis will be known.
It is done as day care surgery.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.
If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
