What Causes Clear Red Discharge Below The Scrotum While On Flomax For Epididymitis?

I was diagnosed with epididimytis a few weeks ago at the hospital. I pretty much already knew what it was from researching it. I was prescribed 10 days of I believe flomax but it did almost nothing I feel. My problem now is that after being very patient a few weeks it s seemed to heal/reduce in size a bit but nothing too significant and the worst is that a clear/reddish liquid discharges out of the bottom of my scrotum pretty much all day long. It has me worried n I have no health insurance so I m scouring the Internet for answers? What is it, what does it mean, is it getting better if it s leaking or does that mean its worse? The swelling n pain has gone down some but the constant leaking has not stopped. It itches a lil bit too. The Dr at the ER I feel gave me way too little on the antibiotics and I would love to know what I might be able to do on my own being I have no insurance? It s made me feel very tired at times n like I have the flu, im really tired n I m going crazy not knowing anything? Please help please!

Hi,

It might be a simple superficial bacterial infection. You can apply topical antibiotics like Mupirocin after cleaning with soap and water. If symptoms persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
