Brief Answer:
Torsion or orchitis - Urgent investigations

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and the pictures.

The scrotal skin looks normal.

I would advise you the following:
-Urine: Culture and sensitivity sample to be given immediately before antibiotic is started / routine and microscopy.
-Blood CBC, ESR, Blood sugar.
-Urgent Ultrasonography and color doppler examination.
-Consult a General Surgeon or an Urologist only to get a proper diagnosis and not to loose time in proper examination, investigations and treatment.

Please let me know some details:
-Since when have you got this pain ?
-Any urinary complaints ?
-Any pain in the abdomen just by the side of the umbilicus ?
-Is the pain mild or severe ?
- Is this for the first time or is recurrent ?

The pain can be due to Orchitis or torsion . Needs urgent confirmation by color doppler and ultrasonography. Other causes can be epididymitis / Varicocele ans so on.

I hope this answer helps you to get an earliest diagnosis and proper treatment.
