The description that you have given is that of an epididymal cyst, although this can be ascertained only after examining you. These cysts are not cancerous and remain like that without causing any trouble. However, you should first see an oncosurgeon to be sure. If required, he will do some tests (FNAC-needle test) to rule out cancer or TB or other infections.
