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.
