    A small hard lump in the scrotum may be caused by hair follicle inflammation, scrotal inflammation, scrotal cysts, etc.

    1. Folliculitis

    After the hair follicles are infected by bacteria, it may lead to inflammation of the hair follicles, which may cause local hard pimples. It can be applied by using ointments such as erythromycin ointment, mupirozole ointment, and tacrolimus ointment.

    2. Scrotal inflammation

    After the vagina is inflammatory and infected, it may also cause inflammatory lesions, swelling inside, and hard pimples. It can be treated with drugs such as cefixime dispersible tablets and amoxicillin capsules orally under reproductive guidance.

    3. Scrotal cyst

    The occurrence of cysts in the scrotum may also cause local hard bumps, accompanied by symptoms of falling and swelling. It can be removed surgically.
