Swelling and pain in the scrotum can be associated with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). In some cases, HS can lead to genital lymphedema, which causes significant swelling and may result in the skin hardening and forming bumps. This condition can be confused with other infections or conditions.

Swelling and pain in the scrotum can be associated with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). In some cases, HS can lead to genital lymphedema, which causes significant swelling and may result in the skin hardening and forming bumps. This condition can be confused with other infections or conditions.

Key points to consider:
- Genital Lymphedema: This can cause swelling in the scrotum, penis, buttocks, perineum, labia majora, and vulva.
- Inflamed Lymph Nodes: HS can cause lesions or blocked hair follicles that affect the lymph nodes, leading to inflammation.
- Long-Term Inflammation: Chronic inflammation from HS can damage lymphatic channels, leading to lymphedema.
- Surgery: Some people with HS undergo surgery to remove lymph nodes, which can increase the risk of lymphedema.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
