Hi,
The bumps on the testicle must be the bumps on the scrotum as I understand. The bumps may occur due to infected hair follicles and if you had a response to the antibiotics then maybe a longer course may help for a few weeks. You need to look for the cause to avoid it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
