Hello
Welcome to health care magic. I appreciate your concern.
Looking at your description it seems that you might have injured your scrotum during shaving, if possible upload a photograph and write back to me
Meanwhile wah it with antiseptic soap or solution and apply antibacterial ointment to avoid infection.
if it doesn't subside in a day or two than you should see you family physician or GP for physical examination, you may require a course of antibiotics.
you can take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief.
Maintain good hygiene
Best wishes
