Hello,
This bump can be an infected hair follicles,sebaceous cyst or a furuncle. Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then pls consult a dermatologist and get sebaceous cyst ruled out.

Also this itching of the testicles can be due to fungal infection or eczema.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
