Need investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The redness over the scrotum in your case can be due to two most common causes. First is an infection either bacterial or fungal and the second is an allergic reaction.
First of all it needs to be investigated. A swab should be taken and the same should be sent for culture and sensitivity. This will give us a idea about the causative organism and the exact treatment that would be required.
Also you should get a Complete blood count done which will give us a idea of eosinophils suggestive or allergies.
One distant possibility is filariasis which can cause such a symptom and responds well to DEC.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
