What Is The Red Lump On The Scrotum With Only Blood And Not Pus?

Hi, Earlier today i found a red lump on my scrotum. I decided to squeeze it to see wether it would pop or not. It did. But there was no pus , all that came out was blood as it made a sharp popping sound. Can you tell me what this could possibly be? How it may of got there? and if i should pop it or just leave it?

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM! Sorry to say that this bloody discharge again could be pus only mixed with blood!

Anyways, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of bloody scrotal lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.a hemangioma /hematoma
2.a scab due to friction / trauma
3. an infected sinus tract or a benign small sebaceous cyst
     
Overall, it is benign and not to worry about this but you could go for FNAC test for confirmation !

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.
