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

The most important thing that I would like to know is weather this lump is attached to skin or it is within the skin attached to testis. If it is attached to skin then it might be sebaceous cyst of the skin which can be removed under local anesthesia, but if it is attached to testes then this might be epidydimal cyst which would not need any specific treatment

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