I am 17, and have had this lump on my scrotum for the past 2 years, maybe longer. I have never had sex, and havent taken part in any sexual activity - so hopefuly no diseases there.

The lump is hard, and doesnt cause any bother. It hasnt changed since i found it there.

Its usually not noticable on the scrotum.
When it is squeezed VERY hard, it begins to hurt, but never aches.

Nothing has ever came out of this lump - its not like a spot or pimple, its just hard.

When beginning to squeeze, it becomes white.
Its size is about half that of a BB pellet, so about 2-3mm in diameter - Tops.

I have also noticed a few (3) veins running either To it, or along side (closely) to the lump.

Its not painful nor aches when left alone, in fact, its as if its non-exsistant.

Its in the skin of the scrotum, not ontop, nor on a testicle. I can move it but is still attached to the skin.

Im just curious of what it could be, and is it a possible threat?

Also, if i need to seek help / treatment, where do i go?

I think you have developed a spermatocele cyst. It protrudes to the scrotum skin from epididymis and can be very little, just like yours but it could also enlarge to the couple of centimeters. This cyst contains milky fluid with some traces of spermatozoa. Like you said, they are not painful but could be pretty uncomfortable if they grow big.

When they are small and asymptomatic, they are left alone as they cause no harm and they don’t affect fertility. However, they could be removed by spermatocele aspiration.

I was also reading about some other scrotal cysts that are considered a normal anatomical variant that can be flesh colored or have white on the top. These cysts are also left alone.

Even if it’s not what I suggested it is a very good sign that the lump is not changing its size. It would be good if youhad it checked for the piee of your mind.

You can always go to a GP first and get directed from there or you could go straight to a GUM clinic and have it looked by an urologist.

Testicular cancer is rare. But it’s a young men’s disease, affecting guys between 15 and 35 years of age. There are normally no obvious symptoms or pain, so if you want to discover it in time you have to make it a habit to exam your testicles every month.
Do the examination during or after a hot bath or shower when the skin of the scrotum is relaxed. Soapy hands help make your fingers more sensitive.
Gently examine each testicle with both hands, placing the index- and middle fingers under the testicles and the thumbs on top. Gently roll the testis between your fingers.
Look for enlargement of the testicle or any change in the consistency. Check for any lumps, about the size of a pea. Don’t mistake the epididymis for a lump and realise that it’s normal if one testicle is larger than the other.
Learn what everything feels like so that you’ll know if something changes.

Do you feel anything that was not there before and doesn't feel normal, then it’s time to make a doctor’s appointment. Do this right away, don’t wait!

Im 14 and i have the exact thing described on the first post, im too embarrassed to tell my parents or anyone, but as long as im still fertile and healthy im good to go. At first I thought it was rare, but after looking many people have it apparently. Also it feels very hard, not like a liquid, its pretty much a solid inside the scrotum. It isn't on the testes, i can tell by moving it, and i can pinch the bottom of it with my testes out of the way, so thank you!

i too have a lump, not on the scrotum, moves about with the skin and has a hair on it, when applied with enough pressure it can release a liquid, i'm just wondering is it a concern to my health and should i be worried
