    A bag growing on the root of the genitals may be caused by folliculitis, sebaceous cyst, genital herpes, etc.

    1. Folliculitis

    Most are caused by poor personal hygiene, which can lead to local pustules or papules, accompanied by symptoms such as fever, redness, and swelling.

    2. Sebaceous cyst

    Most of them are caused by sebaceous gland secretions that cannot be excreted normally and are retained in the hair follicles to form cysts, which may cause local cysts to appear.

    3. Genital herpes

    Most are caused by infection with the herpes virus, which can lead to local bulging, accompanied by ulcers, erosion and other phenomena.

    In addition, a bag at the root of the genitals does not rule out being caused by swollen lymph nodes or Peyronie's disease, which requires differential diagnosis and treatment.
