What is this red bump?

I have been getting this red bump on my testicles for a few years now. I will note that I have been tested since having them but every time I go to see a Dermatologist it clears up before my appointment. I believe it is just some sort of dermatitis but I don't know. It does itch and I have a feeling they come from stress but not sure. Also, the only way to get them to go away is to fight the itch for a few days, sometimes up to a week. If i scratch it a lot then it does grow.

    Hey Buddy

    Stress can cause a lot of things to happen to your body. It could be that. If you want to stop the itch they do have creams that you can use. The one I use Is made by Aveeno Skin Relief. It works great.

    If you have check if it does not come from something you are using then it have to be coming from your body. Be safe

    It could be an ingrown hair... They can resolve themselves and have a tendency to come back. Stress is a trigger. If it grows when you touch it, it's inflamed. It doesn't look like an std. Try to see if it shrinks with a warm towel.

      Thank you for the reply. I don't believe it is an ingrown hair problem. But it could be, I have my wife try to get a closer look and see what she thinks. Just think its weird that it comes and goes like that.

      It can be a sebaceous cyst too. They are annoying but benign!
