It s about the size of a pea, hard, tender, flesh-colored (I think, it was hard to see). I am 14 years old boy, should I go to the doctors to get checked out

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of skin lump near scrotal area, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1. an infected sinus tract or skin tag like fibro-epithelial polyp!

2. inflamed lipoma or benign fatty tumor or neurofibroma

3. a lymph node or sebaceous cyst
     
Overall, it is benign and inflammatory; not to worry about this but you could go for FNAC test for confirmation before consulting a surgeon in your area!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
