For some months now, I have had a lump growing on the outside of my scrotum. It is about 5mm in diameter, appears to be filled with a fluid, but is not painful.
More recently another one seems to be developing on another part of the scrotum.
Any ideas as to what this is please?

 Hi boo.boo,
Is the lump on the skin of the scrotum or in the testicle itself? If it is on the skin itself this may indicate a sebaceous cyst (a swelling of the oil gland in the skin). Remember any testicular lump causes concern and requires attention by your family physician to rule out any serious causes. I would suggest an evaluation be done.
Sincerely,
Rntdj

He started with one small lump, and now has a new one. He has seen a urologist who confirms that they are just sebaceous cysts. One notible complaint from these cysts is an occasional stabbing pain on that side. Hope this helps ease your concerns, I know we were terrified that he could have cancer, since testicular cancer runs in his family.
Nikky, RN
