Suggest Treatment For Abrasion On Scrotum

Posted on Mon, 8 Jun 2015

Question: I bruised my scrotum while shaving, applied dettol so that it didn't become septic. Now a major chunk of outer skin layer has come off and it keeps secreting some white liquid that doesn't cease to stop. I'm applying betadine right now for better healing but it still pains.It'd be embarrassing to consult a doctor for this and hence I chose this media. I can attach a picture if required. It looks as if the skin isn't present and it's been around 5 days since it happened.Please do recommend ointments and antibiotics to avoid infection.
