Serious medical question
Ok so the other day I was taking a shower and I felt a small pea size lump under my testicles.It's not actually on them but just a little further down. I'm really scared that it could cancer.Or it could just be a cyst or a calcium deposit. It doesnt hurt at all and it hasn't changed color.
I'm sorry to post something so personal here but I'm really freaked out and I don't have the money to go see a doctor. Is there anything else it could be?

You could always try going to a free clinic. For something like that i wouldn't risk it. If it doesn't hurt, that seems like a good sign but still you should probably get it looked at any way you can. I hope everything turns out alright for you.

Usually just a calcium or fat deposit, I have a few ranging from pea sized bumps to a larger one on my forearm (that I totally thought was going to be a tumor) and my doctor said don't worry about them unless they hit a nerve and cause pain. It's still worth getting checked out when you can but it's likely nothing.

There are ways to obtain free or low-cost health care...Check these out:
http://www.rxassist.org/patients/res...healthcare.cfm I just had a cancer scare of my own...The biopsy was benign...Turns out I have cysts and endometriosis...I didn't know that tubal ligations could cause that...Apparently my hyper-immune system caused too much scar tissue to form...As it spread, it was tearing...Gross, huh? :p Anyway, trust me, no matter what it is, it is best to know for sure.

I second what Rayne says, Freak. Better to be safe and go get it checked.

Gah, my head has been all over the place this past couple of months...It's also Homecoming time for Alex again...I still have to get his hair straightened, design and order the corsage for his girlfriend, stress every day hoping that his hot pink vest and tie arrive on time (lol...His girlfriend's dress is hot pink, he had no choice)...Had to order it because he didn't like anything we could find locally (I think the real problem is the color...I'm sure he won't be fond of the one we ordered, either)...Hope that it FITS if it DOES arrive on time, and pick up one more thing for his suit...All before 2pm Saturday. Anywho, back to Freak. Sorry for the derail, Freak.

There's no way any amount of helpful information based on experience should deter you from seeking medical advice/examination.
Embarrassing I know...but this is coming from someone who's had a doctor put fingers up their ass (for a headache, weird...no? :D ) but that said afterwards I felt a lot better when I was simply advised to have slight dietary change. Even if it's "bad news" so to speak, the earlier the better and in most cases of the ball related - well, chop one off and it's all good. You can even get a fake ball to put in, or a replacement from a pig. Pig ball. But in all seriousness - sooner the better one way or another - bite the bullet and go let the doctor feel up your sack, ok? All the best.

Is it on your scrotum or inside your scrotum? Is it attached to the testicle? Upper or lower?

I can only repeat what everyone has already said. You should definitely get it checked out. You will rest much easier once you know for sure. Best of luck.
