Hi, I am a 70 year old male and for several months now have been suffering from stinging and inflamed scrotum which at times the skin turns a bright red colour, it is most uncomfortable.
I would appreciate any advise.

Hi and thank you so much for this query

I am so sorry to hear about this inflamed scrotum. The symptoms suggest and infection. However, there are several different germ types that can cause this infection like fungal, bacteria, parasites, etc. It would be a great idea to get it examined so as to identify the exact cause and treat for it. Given a generic treatment would most likely not be helpful because we would not know what to target.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
