I noticed a small pea-sized cyst on my scrotum and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a urologist or a general surgeon to get it checked out? Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat it?

See a urologist first. If it‚Äôs an epidermoid cyst or sebaceous cyst, surgery is the cure. If inflamed, antibiotics may help first.

I'm worried I might have phimosis since I can't pull my foreskin back all the way. Are there any non-surgical ways to manage this? I really don't want to get circumcised what are my other options?

Yes, there are non-surgical options for managing phimosis. Topical steroid creams or ointments, combined with gentle stretching exercises, are often effective in softening the foreskin and improving retraction. In some cases, practicing good hygiene and using lubricants during sexual activity can also help manage the condition.
