Brief Answer:
Idiopathic scrotal surface bleeding is a well known entity.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
Your condition isn't something to be alarmed of. Just relax.
This is frequently seen in men and called idiopathic scrotal bleeding.
This just means that, there's no definite cause, for the scrotal surface bleeding.
But you must get examined by an Urologist.
Then do the following tests :
