How Can Redness On The Scrotum Be Treated?
I had Inguinal Hernia surgery 30 days ago and last night ate lobster, felt an itch on the left side of scrotum, had some oozing and redness. The itch has stopped however the redness remains, there is no pain, nor itch or discomfort. PS: My Hernia surgery was on the right side.Can you please advise.

Hi,
It may be contact allergic dermatitis on the left side of scrotum.
Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Take antihistamines like Cetirizine daily and apply combined cream of steroid and antibiotic.
If need,take oral steroid in tapering dose. Avoid contact with suspected allergens. Avoid soap bath. Take Sitz bath in Dettol mixed water.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
