Post scrotum spots

My Boyfriend said that he has had these funny spots on his scrotum for a long time. They vary in size from small white spots, to huge boulder-sized, flesh coloured/red lumps! These are only on his scrotum! They do not really cause any pain, however he insists on squeezing them, and sometimes a puss-like subtance can be found in them- this is when it sometimes hurts! He has not wanted to see a doctor about these, as he insists that it is just some form of acne- he has many of these spots- 100 or so! However recently something has come up that makes him question wheather he should keep ignoring the problem. A very large and painful lump has formed on the scrotum. It has seemed to have swollen far beyond just the surface and there is a some sort of attachment from it, beneath the skin, but not on the testicle! It is like an enlarged vain but much larger, and none of the other spots,lumps and bumps have this extended lump! Please put our minds at rest, and tell us if we should consult a doctor and put him through the humiliation!

From time to time, little white spots appear on my scrotum too. I tend to leave them alone, as I can imagine that (as you say) it would hurt to squeeze them. After all, the scrotum is a very tender area! The spots I'm talking about are few in number, they're never "boulder-sized" or red, and they go away after a while.

The large and painful lump that you describe is another matter. I would go to a doctor very soon if I were your boyfriend. I can understand that your boyfriend would feel embarrassed to show his balls to a doctor. I've had to do this a few times but the doctor is always professional, understanding, patient and always helpful. The word "humiliation" never comes to my mind in this situation. Get your boyfriend to read some of the posts on these boards and he may feel more comfortable about talking with a doctor.

I agree with you. Your boyfriend should put your minds at rest by seeing a doctor. Hope everything turns out OK.
