Can Vicks Be Applied On Testicles To Relieve The Pain Post Injury?

I hurt my left testicle while laying sideways on my bed and i took a hot shower to relax my testicles in hopes for the annoying pain to subsided. And i became curious if i can rub vicks on the hurt area to further help my pain to go away.Are there anything i should worry about?

thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....

well it is better to avoid applying vicks to your testicles...take tablet ibuprofen/diclofenac instead...they are very good painkillers and should subside your pain if it is due to an injury....
however, if it does not subside, visit a physician...

hope this was useful...
contact me for any further queries....
