Hello Thanks for query .The painful knot on the scrotum near base of the penis is mostly a Staphylococcal infection of hair follicle in a stage of induration .
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory medication like Diclofenac twice daily for 10 days .
If it does not regress with this treatment you will need to consult qualified General Surgeon for evaluation and to get it incised and drained .
