What Causes A Small Painful Lump On The Side Of The Scrotum?

Hello Doctor! I've a very small lump on the side of my right scrotum. Its a little painful. The lump isn't deep enough to reach my testicles but the skin around is hard. Is it a fungal infection or an yeast infection. Is their an ointment / cream that you can suggest? Thank you very much for your help, Bless!

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This is most probably a sebaceous cyst. Do not fiddle with it.
It may resolve on its own.
If it increases in size or gets red, becomes painful , consult a Doctor to get antibiotic ans anti-inflammatory medicines by prescription
