It is hard to diagnose the small lump on the testicle without a physical examination (palpation). It could be a rudimental development that remains, so called an "appendices testis" or "appendices epididimidis". To follow up, you can visit your GP (general practitioner). S/He can refer you to an urologist if necessary.
