Hello and thank you for submitting your question.
Please see an internal medicine or family medicine physician today or report to your nearest emergency department. Discoloration of skin indicates vascular congestion, or "backup" in blood vessels, which is never a normal sign & shouldn't be ignored. The lump you are feeling might be an inguinal hernia or a varicocele, however this cannot be definitively determined without a proper physical examination.
Thank you for sharing your health care concern with us and I hope you can obtain treatment promptly.
Take care,
