There is a small hard lump on the scrotum that itches

Last night when I went to pee, I felt a little itchy down there and found a small hard lump, about the size of a soybean. It was inside the outer skin of the scrotum, but not connected to the testicles. This morning it became smaller and not so itchy anymore. So, what is the reason for a small hard lump in the scrotum?

1. First, sebaceous cysts are harmless to the human body. Generally, no special treatment is needed. Just pay attention to hygiene and avoid getting angry easily. Eat less spicy food and irritating diet. If it feels serious or the inflammation recurs, you can consider minimally invasive surgery to remove it.

2. The second one: pearly papules are more common in male genitals. Pearly papules are a physiological growth and development gene mutation of the body, commonly seen in young people with long foreskin and habitual pruritus. Generally, there are some pearly, bright red, light yellow or milky white transparent papules, arranged in one or several rows, sometimes covering the entire coronal groove, without tenderness or bursting sensation, and patients often have no active symptoms.

3. Thirdly, small bumps on the scrotum may be caused by scrotal dampness: scrotal dampness refers to the abnormal feeling of sweating, dampness or chills without any changes on the surface of the scrotal skin. Scrotal dampness is one of the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis, and is also related to long-term sitting, hot working environment and varicose veins of the scrotum.

Keep the area clean and dry. Elderly people with foreskin can actively go to the hospital for circumcision to reduce the chance of infection. Those with other discomfort symptoms can also actively go to the hospital for outpatient treatment.
