Hello
Thanks for query .
Your 12 years old son has pain in left testicle radiating to groin and hve noticed painful lump over scrotal sac .

This is most likely to be a infection of hair follicle (Boil) due to staphylococcal infection .

However it needs to be confirmed by clinical examination by a qualified General Surgeon .

Give him broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily for a week .

If it does not subside within a week consult general surgeon for revaluation .

It may need to get it incised and drained .
