Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing again .
The green patch that is seen in the middle of testis is most likely a small subcutaneous hematoma .

It will get absorbed gradually and get resolved spontaneously .

If you do not have any alarming symptoms it is better to overlook it and observe it for 3-4 weeks more.

You may take pain killers like Brufen twice daily.

Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil.
