Brief Answer:
Appears to be retractile testis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
thanks for asking on this platform
Children of this age may have retractile testis a condition in which testis retracts during examination/cold and comes back to its normal position itself.
I assume the same condition in your child's case.
In this condition no specific intervention is needed and testis usually descends to scrotum permanently during puberty.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards
