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.
