Lumps on the testicles
by Bryan__0__0, Apr 22, 1998 12:00AM
I am very concerned about the problem I have on my scrotum and the lump in my testicle. I have a lump the size of a large gumball in my one testicle. I also have a large amount of lumps that resemble large pimples all over my scrotum. Please give me an answer to what this might be.

Dear Bryan,
Your question is a good one and one that is brought to me on a daily basis. It sounds as though you have sebaceous cysts of your scrotal skin which is a non-cancerous condition akin to pimples.
Your findings involving your testis is of great concern and needs immediate urologic evaluation. The risk that this is a testis cancer is very real and should not be ignored. Certainly it may be a benign condition but you cannot afford to ignore it.
