Brief Answer:
No active intervention or Surgical removal
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for writing to us on HCM
I have reviewed your case and clinical picture and I would like to put forward the diagnosis of Sebaceous cyst.
It is a closed sac under the skin filled with a cheese-like or oily material. Sebaceous cysts most often arise from swollen hair follicles. Skin trauma can also cause a cyst to form.
These cysts are pretty common over scrotum and usually do not warrant any active treatment unless and until it is bothersome because of size or secondary infection.
The best treatment option however is surgical removal of cyst by a certified dermatologist or general surgeon.
Maintain hygiene and avoid tight undergarments.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Let me know if you require any more assistance from my side.
Thank you

Detailed Answer:
I am afraid as such there is no oral or topical medication that can take care of your sebaceous cyst.
Usually I would suggest you to leave them as such unless it's of great
concern to you, in which case only good option is to get them removed surgically.
Hope you got my point here.
Thanks
