Question: Hello, Im trying to figure out if I have a sebaceous cyst or genital wart. It's a white bump on my sack. I can add an image if I need to.
Is there not a place for me to add an image?

Brief Answer:
sebaceous cysts

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have noticed a lesion on your scrotum. The most common lesion is a sebaceous cyst. Almost all men have sebaceous glands and cysts on their scrotums. This is the most likely cause of your bump. Since it is also white that also is consistent with a cyst.

You may send a picture to confirm the diagnosis if you like

There is no treatment for a sebaceous cyst. You may even find more as you get older but these are all completely benign and do not require treatment.

In summary
1. Sebaceous cyst very common
2. No treatment required

I hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with any of your health care concerns or questions
