Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Severe itchy bumps on the scrotal skin could be cystic acne or a small boil or bacterial folliculitis but I will need to inspect the lesion in order to diagnose correctly.
Means I will put this possibility first and will not think about the possibility of STD or cancer even though it runs in your family.So,no need to be worried about it.
Usually these bumps subsides by itself without any definitive treatment in most of cases but if in case not,it can also be treated easily with appropriate medications like antibiotics and OTC anti-inflammatory and antihistamines.
Consult HCP or dermatologist for clinical examination of these itchy bumps for which you can book an appointment to your HCP and get examined your scrotum by him since there is nothing to shy here.
