What Causes An Extra Growth In The Scrotum?

Posted on Tue, 17 May 2016

Question: There is some extra build up in my scrotum. Pictures below. What could it be and how to go about it?
It also does not hurt. When i exercise it goes away. But it seems to really appear when i get out of shower or when im on my feet for awhile. Again no pain when having sex or urinating. Its bothering me because its my body. Hopefully you can give me an idea or two on what it could be.
I also have a couple white and red bumps near my pubic area. What could that be as well? Ive inly had 1 sexual partner for the oast year so i hope its not an std or anything. Thank you

Brief Answer:
Hydrocele or hernia

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.

I've gone through the images, this is probably hydrocele and less likely scrotal hernia and in both cases they generally don't cause pain and aggravated after long standing, cough or straining. It can be surgically repaired so please consult urologist about this.

Bumps are most likely foliculitis , not std but to be 100% sure you should do STD screening tests.

Wish you good health.
Regards
