Lump on scrotum

[Islandboy230]

I've had this small and embarrassing lump on my scrotum for atleast a year and it's making me paranoid about seeing someone and I don't want to go to the doctors as I'm to embarrased.

It's not on the testicle itself just the skin. It can't be burst.

Hello,

thank you for posting your question. I understand that worries about intimate areas of the body can be embarrassing for you but I can assure you that as healthcare professionals we are all trained to be compassionate and non-judgmental about whatever symptoms patients present to us so please do not be embarrassed to discuss any concerns with us.

For your particular symptom I would encourage you to either make an appointment at your earliest convenience with your GP or with your local sexual health clinic if you would feel more comfortable talking to a healthcare professional in this field. NHS choices have a link to signpost you to your nearest centre which is available from this address: http://www.nhs.uk/Service-Search/Sexual ... earch/1847

I hope this has been helpful.

Take care,

Sarah
