Wierd Bump

---

I have this bump on my scrotum and it started out looking like a zit but its grown a little bit. It doesnt hurt and its red, does any one know whats wrong? Im embarrsed to tell my parents.

What's too embarrising to tell your parents? Unless you got it from being sexually active I don't see the big deal of it! So just tell your parents you are concerned and that you would like to see the doctor.

If it gets worse than ill tell my parents but I would like to know what it maybe. So does anyone know what it may be?

Have you had unprotected sex recently? Have you had oral sex recently?

whoa INTERESTING! i was SERIOUSLY going to post about the same thing! except mine's more on the...soft underside near the bottom of my wang? and mine actually HURTS! it's not from sex or anything! it's really weird, but it IS kinda embarrasing to tell the 'rents! T_T

One possibility for both of you is a sebaceous cyst - they feel a bit like a large deep pimple. They usually go away of their own accord over a period of several weeks, if that's what it is.

thanks Inel! i was wondering! it really does feel like a giant pimple...do you know how it might have come about in the first place though? j/w

Well, sebaceous cysts occur when the outlet of a sebaceous gland gets blocked and skin grows over it. The gland keeps producing sebum and swells bigger and bigger for some time.As I understand it, you are most likely to get them where clothing rubs the skin.

Thanks Ine! By the way Cali im a virgin.

Yeah, its probably a zit - they're not uncommon on the penis from puberty on. Just leave it alone and it should go away by itself in a week or two.
