Suggest Treatment For Pimples On Scrotum

I have what appear to be pimples on my scrotum. It started out with just one or two several years ago after I had a vasectomy and had to shave the area for the procedure. As the hair began to grow back it itched like crazy so I have continued to keep that part of me shaved on a regular basis. The "pimples" are roundish, white in color and firm to the touch. They don't hurt unless squeezed nor do they itch. My question is whether these are ingrown pubic hairs or some form of testicular wart?
Hoping you can help me with some direction.

Thanks

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears 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 some of them which are bigger may need to get excised in Toto (Completely along with the sac)
