Hello
Thanks for query .Small pimple on the scroyum that you aave is mostly a Sebaceous Cyst .
The scrotal skin is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin. Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected
Consult qualified General Surgeon for evaluation .You may need to get it excised in Totto under local anesthesia.
It is not a serious issue at all .
