Little bumps on scrotum

I have found that I have little bumps all over my scrotum, I'm not sure how long I've had them for. Each bump has a hair growing out of it. Just wondering what it could be? I'm hoping it's just something to do with the hair follicles...

Thanks Vanessa

The bumps are not red, and there is no discharge of any sort. The bumps are the same color as the skin. Also, there is no pain of any sort.

Hi

How would you describe the bumps?

Reddish bumps over the scrotum may suggest folliculitis. This skin infection usually affects the skin and the hair follicles. The base of the follicles may present with reddish bumps with pus. There may be slight pain in severe forms. This type of skin condition is contagious. Applying topical antibacterial cream over the area may help. In the absence of other signs and symptoms like a penile discharge , this may not need any further examination. Just continue to observe the skin condition if it responds to the topical medications.
