Topical steroid creams may help retract the foreskin; if ineffective, circumcision remains a definitive treatment.

I've had this small pea-sized lump under my bottom left testicle since I was 15, and now I'm 25. It hasn't really grown, but recently, I've been getting this dull pain in that area. It's not constant but noticeable, especially last night when this sharp dull pain woke me up. I've experienced a bit of that dull pain today too. Could this be something serious, or should I be concerned?
