First, the reason I went down to be checked is because of a small bump on my testicles that has been there for some time. It didn't resemble a pimple and it turned white when I put vinegar on it. I figured for sure that it was a wart. So I went to have myself tested. Well, the good news is, it's not a wart. The vinegar test is B.S. according to both of the doctors I talked to. The bump was actually a nodule that I myself created. Basically it goes like this, if you have a pimple on your scrotum and you pop it, there is a good chance that it will end up becoming a permanant bump. The reason that the doctor gave me for this is that the infection that causes the pipmle doesn't get completely expelled and becomes a hard lump just under the skin. Now this was an STD clinic where all they deal with is STDs, so I'm pretty inclined to completely believe them.
