Suggest Treatment For A Mole On The Scrotum
Hi, I m a 15 year old boy and have a raised, strangely shaped mole on my scrotum and I m a sucker for believing everything on the web so I was curious if this could be cancer or something like that? It s quiet itchy when the areas warm from when I m in bed with something like a quilt cover/sleeping bag

Hi, It seems like a Sebaceous cyst of the scrotum.
That is the commonest lesion in that area.
It usually does not cause any problem and secretes foul smelling white material on poking or puncturing. I advise you dont puncture it otherwise there is always the chance of it getting infected.
You should let it be and if it is causing any problem then see your Doctor or a
Surgeon who can examine you and give you the best advice.
Take care and do not worry, it does not sound lie cancer at all.
