What Causes Hard Lump On Bottom Of Scrotum?
I have a hard lump on the bottom of my scrotum. It feels itchy, but scratching does not seem to relieve the itching at all. Is there a way to tell if this is cancerous without a doctor? How would that be determined with a doctor? (I don t have a doctor currently, and am hesitant to spend the money for a checkup.)

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
In short: Lump can be anything from cyst to Cancer, If you diagnose a rare disease you are rarely correct
Explanation: Do not straight away go to cancer. Most common lump in the scrotum is sebaceous cyst which is benign. So, please visit a doctor and get yourself examined for your solution.
Being hesitant will not help you, can harm you further.
So, good luck
