Hi,
Possible reasons:
1. Infection of the skin - most probably fungal
2. Fluid collection in the layers of the scrotum around the testis - hydrocele
3. Early infection of the testis.
4. Swelling in the skin- like sebaceous cyst
Physical examination is a must and only that can clinch the diagnosis. An ultrasound scan may be necessary to look at the testes and the scrotal sac.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
