Pimpil/bump on my Ballsack

It's just one bump, mostly red colored .... I shave my balls often, and with that said I thought this was a razor bump or an ingrown hair or something. But it's been about 5 months and it's still there. I doubt this is an STD, I was checked a year ago and I was okay. I have had sexual intercourse since then. This bump just doesn't go away and it just looks weird. Should I take a clean needle and just pierce it? I've never had a second bump appear nor anything remotely around it flaring up, nor do my balls "itch" or burn or anything like that. Just simply want my balls to look normal ...if that doesn't sound too weird.

I should note that I don't use shaving cream but an electric razor to shave.

That sounds like a pimple/boil, an infected duct. If it has whiteish pus inside then no doubt that is what it is. Most every man has a couple of whiteheads on their scrotum at any one time if they looked hard enough. They usually just go away, some opening to spill the pus before healing.

If this one is a bit large, greater than 1/4 inch and persistent then I would see a doctor.

Frankly I haven't been. I just assumed it was a razor bump or burn or ingrown hair or something. Don't know how long they normally last. But it's been awhile no spreading and frankly no other symptoms. I mean I say no itching but I mean, my balls itch since I was sexually active, nothing abnormal or extreme beyond that. Was just wondering if this was normal or should I even go see a doctor? Franlkly looks like a pimpil on my balls. Just one again, and that's it.

This will not be herpes, which simply does present like this, in that location alone or persist for an extended period.

What does your doctor suggest it is?
