Reason For Lump On The Head Of The Testicle?

Sir/Mam, I have noticed a lump that is little smaller than a pea on the head of my right testicle. I googled it and found, it is the area where epididymis meets the head of the testicle. I have no pain or any other symptom below my belt. Also, the lump is hard to feel. It is laying there for about 8 months. I am little worried about cancer. Please help......

You 1st need to be certain that it is in your scrotal skin or inside .. That is in the testis.

If on skin it is usually a sebaceous cyst.

If inside... Get and ultrasound done for the testis. Any good radiologist can easily diagnose its origin and also the cause of it.
This way u can be sure that it is not a cancer.

Testicular cancer is one that appears in adolescent males... So better get it checked.
Hope I helped.
Do get back to let me know what it turned out to be.
Mostly they are epididymal cysts.... But better get an USG done.
