What Causes Sudden Pain Between The Crease Of The Leg And Testicles?

Hello, recently after my nap I awoke to a sudden feeling in the crease bewteen my leg and my testicles. I didn t think much of it and went on with my day. I was walking around my house and noticed the feeling again. It wasn t pain, but still. Curious, I touched the lower side of my testicle and felt a hard, lump. It s flesh colored last time I checked. As it wasn t there in the morning, and just suddenly appeared I m quite worried. I did some research and I think it might be a epidermal cyst. Could you help me in identifying what it is and what my options are if anything serious?

Hi,
What you might be having could very well be an epidermal or sebaceous cyst. It is the commonest eruption on scrotal skin and you need not worry about it at all. It will be like a pink swelling with a whitish point in the middle or just off the middle. It will be like that but should not cause any problems. If it becomes red and painful then you should consult your GP who can get it treated. Otherwise it is fairly normal to have these cysts.
Do not worry.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New Delhi, India.
