Hello
Thanks for query.

The pimple like lump with black head over scrotal sac is Sebaceous Cyst.

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 increase in size or get infected.

Take antibiotics like Doxicycline twice daily for 5 days If persists consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

If needed if it is quite bigger it may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac).

This is a simple surgery done under local anaesthesia as a
out patient procedure .
