What causes pimples on the side of the scrotum?

Many men have symptoms of pimples on the side of their scrotum in daily life. This is usually accompanied by pain, redness, swelling and other discomforts, but the severity of each person's symptoms varies. However, many patients may not know the specific cause. Next, the editor will introduce this issue in detail, and people with this symptom can take a look.

1. When you find a lot of small bumps on the foreskin of the penis, they are like the hair follicles at the bottom of the sweat hair on the skin. This is very normal. These are probably hair follicles, but they grow on the foreskin and usually do not grow sweat hair. Some scholars believe that this is a kind of sebaceous gland ectopia, and these bumps are sebaceous glands.

2. When you find some small bumps on the base of the penis and the mons pubis (where the pubic hair grows), just like acne on the face, they are red, some have white spots on the head, and after squeezing them with your hands, they have pustules like acne, then these bumps are acne. Yes, there will be acne in the perineum, and this is actually folliculitis.

3. When you find a few or a circle of needle-tip or rice-sized bumps in the coronal sulcus, which are not painful or itchy, some of them may have been there for several years. This is called pearly papules or roseate papules.

4. The skin lesions of patients with condyloma acuminatum are initially small light red papules, which gradually grow larger and present an uneven, soft, papillary-like lesion on the surface. Some are cauliflower-shaped with a stalk at the root. The surface is moist and dirty gray. For patients with long periods of time, there may be erosive exudate on the surface, and there may be itching and scratching, which may lead to secondary bacterial infection, with purulent secretions on the surface, odor, and pain.
