Hi

Thanks and welcome to XXXXXXX
Possible reasons.
1. Infection of the skin - most probably fungal.
2. Fluid collection in the layers of the scrotum around the testis - hydrocele
3. Early infection of the testis.
4. Swelling in the skin- like sebaceous cyst.

Physical examination is a must and only that can clinch the diagnosis.
An ULtrasound scan may be necessary to look at the testes and the scrotal sac.
Hope this helps, kindly get back for doubts---

Thanks a lot doctor for your prompt response.

Regarding my problem, i don't have pain in my left testical the pain is around left testical scrotum and i feel little clot type with tenderness, if i press it then it pain or otherwise when i do jogging or long walk it pain. or sometime if i wear tight pant. It is not regulare pain and it in period of some interval 2 or 3 days. some time even after week or fortnight.

I had consult the doctor 2 years back regarding the same problem, he suggested me to wear a loss pant as i use to wear a very tight pant, he said due to erosion in part it might be the case.

And thier is no infection on the skin or fuild collection in the layers of the scrotum , it is inside the scrotum the tenderness of clotted area next to left testical as mentioned above.

Can you suggest me any Specific test has to be done ?

Hello Mr XXXXXXX ,
Welcome back.
Varicocele needs treatment if

1. Child birth is planned and getting delayed due to abnormal semen parameters.
2. Testicular pain like you have.

Kindly get examined by a urologist and get well soon.
