Cyst like on bottom of ballsack

Hi everyone, off question here. I have had this small cyst like bump on the bottom of my ballsack for about 7 months. It gets a white small hard ball in it every other day it seems like and when I attempt to lightly pop it a small hard white ball comes out leaving a open pour look that end up being sensitive afterwards. Seems to just keep repeating it self. Anyone have same issue? I’m not convinced it’s a std of any sort but honestly don’t know

It could be an epidermal cyst, if it's on top of the skin, an infected hair follicle, or even a recurring pimple. If it's under the skin, it could be a spermatocele or varicocele. None are serious, but next time you get it, don't pop it, and let your doctor check it out. Since it keeps coming back, your doctor should see it.

Probably a sweat cyst.  I've had them in that area twice.  First time I was told to hold hot compress on it and it went away.  Second time, doc just pulled it off.
Yeah, a sweat cyst is a sebaceous cyst, also known as an epidermal cyst. It's not at all serious, and very common.
