Lump on testicles

5 replies

My exdp has had a lump on his testicles for the last 3 years I've known him. It started quite small and has grown considerably since. It is right on the edge near his groin but is on testicle not thigh. It was skin coloured and flat and smooth but has become patchy and dark and a little rougher over time as well as bigger. He now has a deep lump in the testicle near to the original lump.

GP has referred him to specialist but we won't know for a while. First GP prescribed steroid cream but that made it worse if anything. It itches and creates a rash on his leg sometimes - I think form overdosing on sudocreme. Second doctor thought the rash was a red herring.

Even though I am very angry at my DP right now due to recent separation I am a bit worried.

What might this be? Could it still be a cyst or somesuch?

It actually looks like a squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma...

It sounds like two separate issues. The first is something to do with the skin and the other is to do with the actual testicular tissue.

They will no doubt take oncology samples and scans to determine the cause.

He has been and they do think it could be cancerous but will not confirm until it is removed and the tissue assessed.
