Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most of the times small testicular swellings are harmless as they are spermatocele which is the swelling of testicular tube, but if the swelling has grown in size and changed its consistency then it would bother me. If you would have come to me, I would have done your testicular ultrasound and If it showed any solid mass or calcification, I would have done testicular biopsy as well to rule out testicular cancer.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
