Dear dee_loc ,
It is a very good thing that you do self-checks regularly , I salute you for that. Regarding your query...I can not tell if it was a simple cyst or a simple inflammation in a lymph node..It has to be examined by a doctor...To be on teh safe side... you should do a simplle testicular ultrasound with Duplex...they would know exactly the nature of the lump.
Is it painful? (denoting inflammation in most of cases ) or not painful and has slippery edges when you flatten it...and does it move freely or fixed...all these question can be answered by your doctor...preferrably a surgeon.
Best regards,
