What Causes Red Mark On Scrotum?
Okay, you might think this is a joke but I'm actually pretty concerned. Beside my scrotum, on both sides, are these red marks that seem to hurt when I bring my legs up to my chest. I have only noticed these recently after I shaved. Any idea on what this is?

hi,greetings from HCM.From what you have written you may be suffering from cellulitis of the scrotal skin which is due to infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum probably due to abrasion sustained due to shaving.It will be very tender to touch .you have to take antibiotics, analgesics sitz bath with saline to get relief. If it is not getting ok you consult a dermatologist.wish you a speedy recovery
