growth in scrotum
by ABAB, Dec 18, 2003 12:00AM
Dear Dr.
I am 25 years old male. I have had small growth on the scrotum for about a year..maybe more. I didn't really cared about it much before. It didn't change size. It kinda looks like a pimple. It has a smooth not ruff texture to it and if i squeeze it nothing comes out of it. It is a little bit smaller than the size of a pencil eraser. Recently, I scratched it but nothing came out. It just blead a little bit. The area is now a little scared and it seems to be flatter. my question is could this be a wart? If it is should it grow back in size or could it just stay flat as it is now? how fast will it grow back? If it isn't a wart do u any thoughts to what it may be? are there pimples or cysys that do not have a fluid or some kind of puss inside? If it doesn't grow back or spread does this mean it isnt' wart? thanks a lot

Cysts are much more common on the scrotum than warts. I think this is a cyst--small ones don't have visible pus inside. You should show a doctor to be sure, just so you don't have to worry. But you are probably best off just leaving it there.
Take care.
