What Could Be The Whitish/red Bumps On Scrotum?

I have whitish/red bumps on scrotum. They feel kind of hard and some are slightly softer. I have had them since I was a teenager and not sure what they are. What could they be and how t=could they be treated? I have taken an STD test and everything is good.

Hello
Thanks for query.
Based on what you have stated I would say that you have multiple Sebaceous Cysts over scrotum.

The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.

Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.

If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with
the sac)
