What causes genital cysts in men?
Sometimes, the glands that produce oil on the penis and scrotum (called sebaceous glands) can become blocked, turning into cysts (a tissue sac that can contain clear liquid or pus). Usually, cysts don't need any treatment. However, if they continue to get larger, they can become painful and infected.
How do you make cysts go away fast?
