What Could a Pea-Sized Lump between the Anus and Scrotum Indicate, and Should It Be Evaluated by a Healthcare Professional?

A small lump in the area between your anus and scrotum can be caused by different things. One possibility is a benign, non-cancerous growth made of fatty tissue, which is called a lipoma. Sometimes, a rare condition called an accessory scrotum can create extra tissue in that area. Other times, such a lump could be due to an infection that forms a small abscess or even be related to genital warts. Even if the lump is small and does not hurt, it is important to have it evaluated by a doctor. A healthcare professional will look at the lump and ask about any changes, pain, or other symptoms you might have. They might also perform tests to be sure it is nothing serious. Early evaluation can help rule out any problems and give you peace of mind, ensuring that any required treatment is treated in good time.
