Pale hard lump on nuts

[Dodgy_nutsack]

I have a lump appeared on my scrotum, it's pale and underneath the skin, about 5mm across and totally painless. I have had it for a few months but I think now it's getting bigger. I haven't taken measurements and I could be imagining the size increase purely because I know it's there

Hello,
Scrotal masses can be caused by several conditions; the most common are a Varicocele, which is a varicose vein along the spermatic cord; Hydrocele, wherein a fluid collection is present in the scrotum; Spermatocele, a cyst-like mass within the scrotum that contains fluid and dead sperm cells; Hernia; Infection like Epididymitis; or Tumors.  Hydroceles, varicocele, and spermatoceles are noncancerous and usually do not require treatment.  A lump caused by an infection is treated with antibiotics.  I would recommend that you follow up with your Doctor so you can be examined and an ultrasound can be done.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

It could be a sebaceous cyst.
