What Does Growing, Swollen, Pink Spot On Scrotum Suggest?

Hello, Ive had a stressful couple of days now. Ive been worried about this small spot on my scrotum. Its where the shaft and scrotum meet. Its small, bigger that a hair follicle, but not as big ass a pee. At first I thought it to be like a pimple or something so I messed with it until I was swollen. Then it was red and pee sized. But if I leave it alone its just slighty raised pink and shiny. It had dry skim on it once so I picked at it. I know thats bad but I did. It scabbed over and then the scap fell off next day. Now its just really small shiny and pink. Still slightly raised. Sometimes it looks like a pimple about to come to a head but never does. Cant tell if it itches or just the normal itchy scrotum. Please help. Had a ssimilar experience a year ago but it was just an ingrown hair. But I cant remember if this is the same thing.

Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on what you have described I would say that you have what is called as Sebaceous Cyst over scrotum.

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 it being a big may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac).
