Doctor: Hi and thank you so much for this queryI am so sorry to hear about this inflamed scrotum. The symptoms suggest and infection. However, there are several different germ types that can cause this infection like fungal, bacteria, parasites, etc. It would be a great idea to get it examined so as to identify the exact cause and treat for it. Given a generic treatment would most likely not be helpful because we would not know what to target.I hope this addresses your query fully.
