What Causes Soreness And Redness In The Testicles?
My ball sack is red and burning. This started 2 days after I had protected sex with an unfimiliar women. The first day the skin on my ball sack tingled and then started burning and turned red the next day. The burning has since died down (4 days later). Can this mean that I have herpes?

Hi. It is a possibility, however, if you dont have any pain and redness anymore it is unlikely. Is there any other symptom in that area like burning in urine or fever or discharge from the urinary meatus? If you dont have any such problems and you have had protected sex then you need not worry. Do let us know if any problem persists or recurs and we will guide you for further treatment. Take care. Dr Rishi, India.
