I woke yesterday morning to find a lump in my scrotum. It hurts bad, and it's bright red. Today I woke up to find a smaller, hard lump on the other side. What are the chances I have cancer? Should I be worried? (I'm in my early 20's)

Dear Asker!
If your bumps are filled with white pus I am sure these are just sebaceous cysts that may appear anywhere there is hair, including scrotum. Herpes pimples look more like blisters, and are filled with some kind of clear liquid, so I doubt you have herpes. Haven’t you ever get tested to see if it were something?
Sebaceous cysts are pimples and men experience them on their genitals when skin starts producing excessive oils, in puberty, exactly when they show up on face as well. The pattern you described, the spreading matches your description. They are called sebaceous prominence when it appears on penis and is considered to be a normal anatomical variant.
It is quite possible that they will go away on their own after some time but may as well stay there for good. They are not STD and you can’t pass them onto a girl, however you shouldn’t have popped them, that is for sure.
What is done is done, but don’t do it again as this could lead to bacterial infection and you may experience additional problems.
This is probably nothing to worry about but you can’t put your mind at easy, I would suggest you visited either an urologist or dermatologist to get proper diagnosis.
Hope that may help you!
Good luck!
