    So I found a lump (hard and bigger that a pee in size) on my scrotum. I am sure it is a cyst and I don't really think it is that serious and I have hesitations to begin with. Should I get this checked out?

    Have a read of this guy's experience.

    Hopefully it is nothing OP, but what's the harm in getting it checked?

    Best of luck.

    How can you be sure its a cyst? Get yourself checked out for peace of mind at the very least. If your posting online about it, it is on your mind. I got an ultrasound recently on something that didn't turn out to be cancer. It was a weight off my shoulders.

    Well I can't be one hundred per cent sure but I thought if it was on the ball then you need to check it out immediately and if it is on the bag then it probably is cyst related.

    I see what you did there!!!!

    OP if you have to ask on the internet do you need to get it checked out then you probably already know you have to get it checked out....

    Exactly OP, best get it checked out as we can't give any other advice than to see your doc. The internet is a baaad place for diagnosis. Every time I feel a little under the weather and consult Dr Google I'm convinced I'm expiring of eyelash leprosy. :) Good luck with it anyway.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
