Noticed A Small Red Area Around Scrotum That Oozes A Small Amount Of Clear Liquid

I have a small-ish red area on my scrotum that appears to have been worn down. It stings quite a bit when something touches it and sometimes oozes very small amounts of clear liquid. Is it something that I should be worried about or will the skin just heal itself over time?
