Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have what is called as Sebaceous Cyst on 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.

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.

If it does not get resolved you may need to get it excised under local anaesthesia.
