The testicles are an important reproductive organ for men. Any abnormality will make people very nervous. In daily life, many men have acne on their testicles. Because they don't know the cause, they are very scared and worried that they will suffer from some serious disease. So, what is the reason for acne on the testicles? Let's take a comprehensive look at the relevant situation.

1. Scrotal eczema: It is relatively common. The symptoms are the appearance of many papules or blisters on the scrotal skin, ranging in size from a needle tip to a grain of rice. The local area is diffusely red and swollen, accompanied by severe itching and easy to rupture.

2. Scrotal dermatitis: There is no skin damage in the early stage of the disease. Usually itching appears first, and then needle-sized, irregular polygonal or flat round papules appear due to scratching or friction. They generally do not break.

3. Scrotal tinea: It is a skin disease caused by fungal infection, which is often associated with tinea in other parts of the patient. The skin of the scrotum is flushed, with papules or blisters, followed by dandruff. The affected area often has ring-shaped damage and is severely itchy.

4. Condyloma acuminatum: It is a type of sexually transmitted disease that is common around the genitals and anus. At the beginning of the disease, light red needle-sized papules will appear in the prone areas, and then they will gradually increase in size and number, and are often distributed in an overlapping manner, merging into nipple-shaped, cockscomb-shaped or cauliflower-shaped, and are often accompanied by itching.

5. Genital herpes: It is also a type of sexually transmitted disease. After the latent period of genital herpes, symptoms usually appear on the foreskin or urethra. As the disease progresses, they spread to the testicles. In this case, the small bumps are actually small blisters, which are mostly distributed in clusters and are easy to rupture. Most patients will experience itching.

Condyloma acuminatum is a more serious lesion and must be treated as soon as possible.
