A white hard lump on the scrotum may be a sebaceous cyst, which forms due to blockage of the sebaceous gland ducts in the scrotal skin, leading to accumulation of sebaceous secretions. It could also be folliculitis, small subcutaneous nodules, or similar conditions. It is important to promptly visit a正规 hospital for proper examination and diagnosis to determine the exact cause and receive targeted treatment. Maintain good local hygiene, wear loose-fitting underwear, and avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet.
