What Do White Itchy Spots On The Scrotum Indicate?
I found one white spot, about the size of a dime on my scrotum a few weeks ago. Now there is another smaller one. They are not swollen or above any of the other skin. I do itch there a lot and in turn scratch. I have HPV and am wondering if this is common.

Hello
Thanks for query.
The small white spots on scrotum are likely to be Sebaceous Cysts .
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.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
If needed some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)
