Q: Ball beneath skin ?

I have had these small little balls beneath the skin for about 8 years now but they never seem to get bigger or smaller. They came out of now where as I recall and have about 3 of them around the pubic area (2 around the testicles and penis 1 in between the groin and thigh) about 1/8 of an inch in diameter. They aren't bumps or ingrown hair/pimples cause they can't be squeezed out. They are under the skin and I can slightly pinch them and feel their perfect ball shape. They sometimes itch above the skin where the little ball is at. Sometimes just a simple scratch would do but sometimes I have to really go at it and it can feel wonderful but at the same time torturous. I've intensively searched around the internet about these little balls but not to many places talk about this or even know what they are even called. I've been to a doctor and was told it was only a lymph node and it should go away but it has been years and nothing has changed. So I've went to the hospital and they couldn't even tell me what it was except that I should go to a clinic and I don't even know any clinics around where I live. This is frustrating. Any help on this situation is very much appreciated.
