A member asked:

When the scrotum is enlarge and hard on one side what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mass: Scrotal enlargement with hardness or firmness should be considered seriously. Possible explanations can range from a simple hydrocele or hernia as well as it can mean a chronic infection or even a testicular tumor. A testicular tumor is the most worrisome and this should be evaluated promptly.

Do genital warts keep spreading. Most in pubic area right above penis. Some on other side by scrotum and groin. Most hard hair coming out of them. Dark red to brown. Could it be seborrheic keratosis? Can hair grow out of them? Moles? Please help?
