Hi! If it looks like a boil, then it probably is one. I suppose you haven’t been sexually active yet, so you don’t have to worry about contracting any of the sexually transmitted diseases.
It happens often that hairs on the scrotum get inflamed and that you see it as a pimple or a boil. Is there a white spot on top? It doesn’t have to be but sometimes you can find puss on top of it.
But it could be just an ordinary pimple. It is good that you decided to have it checked. All lumps and bumps found in the genital area should be examined.
If it looks like a mole, it could be angiokeratoma of Fordyce. However, I doubt this because you are too young to develop these as they appear after the age of 40. They are just harmless dark red or purple lesions that cause no trouble but could be a cosmetical nuisance. If you scratch them, they may bleed.
Let me know what the doc told you! When are you seeing your doc?
