An : An ingrown hair is possible and nothing to worry about really, however the fact that you have a bump on your testicle regardless of the cause needs to be evaluated. The reason this is so important is because testicular cancer commonly occurs in young men your age and it is absolutely necessary to make sure this bump is nothing dangerous. Please see a medical professional right away.

Furuncle: Can be the beginnings of an infection. An infection here can be dangerous, google fournier's gangrene to see the dangers. If it turns red and starts hurting seek medical help.

I shaved 'there' yesterday morning and noticed a little bump before bed. It feels like 'stuck' hair, so I am guessing it is an ingrown hair from shaving 'there'. How can I reduce the pain and swelling?
