What Causes Hard & Red Scrotum ?
MY EIGHT MONTH OLD HAS AN UNDESCENDED TESTICAL AND JUST YESTERDAY I TOOK HIM TO HIS PEDIATRICIAN FOR HIS VACCINES. WELL JUST THIS MORNING HE BECAME EXTREMLY FUSSY WHEN HE CRAWLED OR EVEN WHEN I PICK HIM UP. I THOUGHT MAYBE HIS LEGS WERE SORE FROM THE SHOTS. I JUST NOTICED NOW THAT HIS UNDESCENDED SCROTUM IS HARD AND RED. HE SCREAMS EVERYTIME I TOUCH IT. WHATS WRONG?

Hello,
It might be torsion testis. Take him to the ER immediately and get an ultrasound scan done to assess the vascularity of the testis.
If anything abnormal is seen in the ultrasound, he might require surgery.
