Hi,

I can understand your concern for the irritation, redness, burning sensation and scars after using hair removal cream on scrotum.

I can make a possibility of irritant contact dermatitis. In this there are eruptions along with moderate itching and in more aggravated cases there is appearance of more redness which persist for more than multiple of days.

The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.

You can apply medium potency steroid cream application of fluticasone cream. You can additionaly take antihistamine benadryl or loratadine by mouth.
If the things are not getting better then can meet a dermatologist for further guidance.
Take care.
