Hello, I Just Noticed A Tiny Ball/lump On My Scrotal
Question: Hello,
I just noticed a tiny ball/lump on my scrotal skin that%E2%80%99s painful when palpate. It%E2%80%99s nowhere near the testicle and again, it%E2%80%99s quite small. I%E2%80%99m wondering if this could be cancer even though it%E2%80%99s not on the testicle or is it likely an ingrown hair or something?
Thank you
