Swollen Foreskin, Penis Shaft, Tenderness, Lump In Groin. Treatment Options?

Hi, the skin of my scrotum is very firm, almost stiff, and my entire scrotum seems slightly swolen. Also my foreskin down to about half way down the shaft of my penis is swollen. Neither are overly painful, just a little tender. I also have a small lump in my groin , near the base of the penis, that is painful, and feels tender all the way back to the corner of my groin.
