Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having skin infection mostly.
And no need to worry for testicular cancer as your age is too small for it. Testicular cancers usually occur after age of 45-50 years. And the most common symptom is testicular mass, not skin lesion.
So better to consult dermatologist and start treatment for your skin lesion.
Also get done ultrasound testis to rule out your fear of cancer.
