These are absolutely normal looking scrotal pimples. Most of the men would have them.

The reason is hormonal. In teens and young adulthood, pimples occur at different parts of the body. This is considered normal. 

Nothing needs to be done. Just keep the area clean and dry. Wear loose cotton underwears to keep the region well aerated and not let any moisture to accumulate there.

    Hi, I have pimple like thing on my scrotum. I am confused whether it’s a wart or a pimple.

    When I squeezed a white thread like substance came out and after that nothing happened. It doesn’t seem to disappear.

    Can you please help?

      Looks like a pimple. If you have no symptom, like pain, pus etc. nothing needs to be done. Just keep observing it. If there is any change, medical intervention would be required.

        Thank you.
        One last thing, why do you think medical intervention would be required?

        Are you suspecting something worrisome?

          Looks like a normal pimple. Nothing serious at all.

          However, pimples may sometimes complicate. They may get infected or traumatized due to friction. Only then, topical antibiotics may be required.

    I have pimples on my scrotum that are filled with only blood. When I pop one they bleed for 20 min or longer. My scrotum is infested with them. Sometimes they will pop by themselves and have left blood stains on my clothes. What is this condition?

        Too many to count as they regenerate like spores. They are only on my scrotum. They grow through my skin and then some will pop by themselves or with the slightest touch. They are not painful, just embarrassing blood stains everywhere.

          Appears to be an outbreak of pimples there. You may need to apply antibiotic ointments over it. Better to see a dermatologist.

      If a pimple is filled with blood, it would be painful and usually, it also has pus in it.

      Are these painful?

      Or else, they may be blood blisters.

      Likely to be pimples.

      You need to keep the area clean and dry. avoid moisture accumulating there. Wear lose cotton underwears to aid this.

      Also, eating a healthy diet would help in long term with these pimples. Avoid fatty food stuff and all junk food. Include fresh fruits and vegetables in each of your diet.
