What Is A Hard Red Lump On My Taint?

I have a hard, red, lump on my taint and it doesn t hurt unless I try to pop it (which it won t). Do you have any idea what it might be? A week prior finding it I went the doctor for a similar red lump on my shaft and he said it was an inclusion cyst.

Hello,

I can understand your concern for the red lump on taint area. Though we require a close physical examination or at-least a picture to diagnose the exact entity but in general these are most commonly inclusion cysts present on this area.

You should not be worried about the same and if you are really very anxious then can meet a dermatologist. A dermatologist will give you the best diagnosis regarding the most probable cause. Also if you want these bumps and lumps can be cauterized easily wth a radio-cautery or a electrocautery machine.

DO not try to pinch, pop or squeeze the area as can get infected and further complicated.

All the best.
