Suggest Remedy For Ulcer Sore On Scrotum

How to treat Ulcer sore on scrotum? Father is 88 years old and we just discovered the ulcer soar when he returned home from an extended Hospital stay. He will be seeing a wound care specialist Monday morning but what can we do until then? The sore is in the crease of his scotum where the elastic from his jockey shorts would rub against it so he is now wearing boxer briefs. We think it developed from wearing disposable briefs for an extended time while being confined in the Hospital most of the time sitting in a wheelchair.

Hello,

The scrotal ulcer has to be treated properly because it may lead to life-threatening conditions like fournier’s gangrene. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated.

Thorough wound cleaning and antibiotics are the mainstays of the treatment. Make sure that his blood sugar is well controlled because uncontrolled diabetes worsen the recovery.
