Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I can understand your concern for the squidgy mass in my scrotum connected to your testicle.

It appears form your query that you have developed hernia of intestine which is giving small lump like appearance of the area. This area is quite common to get strangulated and intestinal obstruction because of narrow passage.

Do not try to even touch or pinch the area as can cause more aggravation of the problem and spread of the infection.

For time being period you can take pain killer tablets such diclofenac or paracetamol.

You must meet a surgeon or any family physician and get a proper treatment without delay.
Take care.
