My dog has a spot on his testicles. When should I worry and see a vet?

Question

My dog has a spot on his testicles and I was wanting to know if it’s just a clogged duct or if I should be alarmed and take him to the vet. Thor is two and a Doberman. Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Male | neutered | 2 years and 2 months old | 95 lbs

That does look pretty irritated. Since it appears to be a little oozy and is in a particularly sensitive area, I would have it examined by your vet. They can clean the area and take a sample (if needed) and provide you with any medications such as pain or antibiotics if the area is infected. Until you can get to your vet, I would keep Thor from licking the area by placing an Elizabethan (cone) collar on him, and keeping the area clean and dry. I would also monitor to see if it is rapidly changing in size, is very painful, the testicle swells or turns purple, etc as these are all potential signs of something more serious that should be treated right away.
