Scrotal cysts: will typically not go away on their own. They need to be cut out to go away.

A 32-year-old male asked:
Bumps on the scrotum appeared a couple of weeks ago after having intercourse with a female. They are painless and have a hair in the middle of them. I did shave that area using clippers. Could this be ingrown hair or a Herpes outbreak ?

Sounds more: like ingrown hairs. But difficult to say without examination. You need to show it to your doctor or urology specialist to make sure.
