Suggest Treatment For Blood On Scrotum

default
Posted on Fri, 26 Sep 2014
Question: Last night I notice blood in the toilet bowl. on closer inspection it was coming from what looked like a broken blood vessel on my scrotum. I put a small band aid on it, underwear and returned to bed. There is a little blood seepage this morning and of course the band aid is firmly attached to the pubic hair. Should just leave it for a day or so and try to soak it off? What is the cause if any? Do I need follow up?

Brief Answer:
It would heal over the next few days.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXX.

Was there a rash to begin with? Its quite rare for a crack to develop on the scrotum without any predisposing conditions. If there was anything leading up to it do let me know.

If its a small crack then don't worry it will heal fast over 5 to 7 days. Just keep it clean and covered. It would be better to remove surrounding hair so it will be easier to put a bandage. Nothing else need be done.

Take care and let me know if I can help you any further.
