Is Normal Skin Lotion/baby Oil Safe On Scrotum After Having Hernia Surgery?
I just had inguinal hernia surgery. The swelling in my testicles have gone down (yet still exists), but I constantly feel this "pinching" like discomfort, like chafing and/or dryness. Is it alright to put normal skin lotion and baby oil on my scrotum?

Hello,
It is perfectly alright to use either of the two on your scrotum. Additionally, try wearing slightly tight underwear for a few weeks. Also, you should avoid carrying heavy weights for the next few weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
