Suggest Treatment For Cyst On Penile Shaft/scrotal Area

I have what I THINK is a sebaceous cyst on my penile shaft/scrotal area. It is painless, a reddish color and about the size of a pea. I had it looked at my local clinic shortly after discovering it because I thought it might have been herpes. The doctor at the clinic examined it briefly and said it was a cyst. Obviously my question is how the hell do I get rid of it? I have read all types of things on the internet about people trying to remove them at home and contracting terrible infections. Also other peoples accounts of having them surgically removed rather expensively. How do I get rid of this thing safely and not spend a lot of money?

Hi,

Firstly, sebaceous is common over scrotum. It can be easily removed. It doesn't cost you much. It can be done by giving a local anesthesia and it wont cost much or doesn't need admission. It is a day care procedure. Check your diabetes status and consult a surgeon. You can have a solution for your problem on day care with very little money to spend as it is a minor procedure.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Basireddy Vijay Kumar Reddy, General Surgeon
