Skin Of Scrotum Is Swollen And Itching. What Does It Indicate?

hi...
when i went to bed today.. my left scrotum was very itchy and i scratch it till it fades away.

Hello friend,

See, such kind of itch and redness on scrotum can be simply a type of eczema known as scrotal dermatitis.

Or it can be some infection like fungal infection or sec bacterial infection associated with dermatitis.

But , the treatment is entirely different for the conditions.

So, i would like you to consult your dermatologist so that he/she can visualize the condition and can guide you properly.

Thanx.

Get well soon.
