Small Bump on Scrotum
Posted: 07-08-08 12:51pm

A couple of days ago, while I was taking a shower and washing my genital area, I felt a small bump on the left side of my scrotum (or sac). When I took a look at it in the shower, it seemed a little red/pink I suppose. So after the shower, I waited a few hours and examined it again once I was dry. The bump is a very light shaded pink. I tried to see if it would pop, and while there was no pop that I noticed, it did seem like it secreted a very small amount of a clear fluid. It could also have been that I wasn't fully dried off yet as well, but I'm not sure. The bump does not itch, or anything really. It's just a bump, probably smaller than the size of a pea.

I left it alone, and yesterday when I was in the shower again, I found another small bump, however, it's not located on my scrotum, testicles, or penis. I'm not sure how to describe it properly, it's located between my upper thigh and my genital area, or rather, I guess the "joint muscle area" between my right leg and genitals. I couldn't get a proper look at it, since I have to bend over really well to even attempt to see it. But it's another bump that I've found.

I personally think it might be an irritation or a bug bite, seeing as how we've been having problems with bugs in our home for the past few days. I personally have many bug bites on my legs, and we have 2 dogs that have had flea problems for a long time, so it could be that their flea's have spread around the home and to us as well. I have been feeling itchy around my legs a little, and around my genital area, but only for a very small amount of time per day. I'm 24 years old, and I have NOT had any sexual contact with any females (or males), and I am a Virgin. I also do not have any burning sensation when I urinate, or feel any discomfort in my genital area.

I did have a similar experience a few years ago where I found a small bump on my penis (on the foreskin, near the edge of it). It disappeared after a few days, and I think this might be another case of it, except it's on my scrotum and between my thigh/genitalia. I'm going to wait a few days to see if it'll go away. I DO have a PHYSICAL coming up on Wednesday July 16th (next Wednesday). So either way, I will be seeing a doctor about this if it's still there. I just want to know if anyone might have any idea on what I could be experiencing at this moment. I've looked up stuff online through Google, and a lot of it are things that make me panic. And I am known for panicking for even the smallest things. I'm also embarassed about this that I haven't even told anyone about it, especially my parents, and they're pretty much my ride to the hospital since I don't drive (I don't have a license) and the hospital is a little far. So I would really appreciate the help.

If those bumps disappear spontaneously in 2 weeks they could be insect bite or infection of the hair follicle. If they are warts they won't disappear spontaneously or at least not that quickly.
You can consult your doctor about this.

I went to my Physical last Wednesday, and I told him about the bump on my scrotum. I even told him about the several bug bites I got on my legs, and asked if this could be just another bug bite. He agreed that it seems more like a bug bite, since he didn't notice any other problems. He recommended that I try Neosporin or a Triple Antibiotic for around 7-10 days. This past Monday, I bought the Neosporin and I tried it, I forgot to use it yesterday however, and today, before I took a shower, I examined the bump one more time.

While I was examining it however, it seemed to have popped and a puss like substance came out of it. I washed my hands immediately, and while I showered, I cleaned my scrotum thoroughly as well. I don't know if I should call my doctor again to schedule another appointment, or whether I should continue to use the Neosporin. But I also wonder if this now confirms that I have a bug bite on my scrotum. If so, is there any steps I can take to help get rid of it? Should I continue to use the Neosporin?

I used to have a similar puss situation before. I would get a Pimple on my upper thigh and when I popped it puss would come out. I'm wondering if this is the same situation, just now on my scrotum.

Bump popping and puss coming out suggest that you might have some bacterial infection of the hair follicle. Puss collection is not typical for insect bite except if the bite's place is additionally infected. You can continue using Neosporin as your doctor recommended.
