How To Treat A Lump Under The Scrotum?
I am a 25 year old male and today I found a lump just under scrotum. It is located in between my inner thigh and my left testicle. It pretty solid and is about the size of a jelly bean. I only feel pain or discomfort when I feel or touch the lump. Do you have any idea what this could be?

Hi! thanks for writing to us sharing your problem of the scrotal lump which is solid, small and mildly tender!
Therefore, I would like to consider few possibilities in this condition as per my experience of needle biopsy as follows:
1. an enlarged lymph node could be due to local infection, skin infection, tuberculosis etc.
2. an inclusion cyst or benign sebaceous cyst
3. benign skin tumors like lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma etc.
So I think it is not a real thing for worry but still the diagnosis should be confirmed by a physical examination and needle biopsy.
Hope you got the answer; please revert back to us if anymore clarification is required;
