    A small granule growing on the scrotum may be genital warts, or it may be hair follicle inflammation and infection. It is necessary to take antiviral drug treatment in time, and anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used to help improve clinical symptoms. You can first go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to clarify the condition and then treat symptomatically.

    1. Genital warts

    Condyloma acuminata is a disease caused by unclean sexual habits. It will be accompanied by the appearance of small cauliflower-shaped granulations in the scrotum. It may be caused by human papillomavirus infection. Drug treatment, such as ribavirin granules, can also help remove genital warts through laser.

    2. Hair follicle inflammation and infection

    If you do not pay attention to the health care of the scrotum, for example, if you are often exposed to a dark and humid environment, it may cause inflammatory infection of the local hair follicles, and the production of fleshy particles in the hair follicles. In severe cases, it may cause suppuration and pain. This can be improved by rinsing with water and then taking oral antibiotics, such as amoxicillin capsules or levofloxacin.

    During the recovery process, you need to develop the habit of changing underwear every day to avoid infection. You also need to choose light and easy-to-digest food, which can help with the recovery of the condition. After washing the underwear, you need to expose it to the sun.
