Accepted Answer

It's : It's difficult to be able to say exactly what it is without seeing it, but from your description, it may be a hemangioma or strawberry spot.  Hemangiomas are a collection of blood vessels under the skin - common and typically harmless in infants.  They tend to appear around 2 months of age and are bright red.  They increase in size until about 1 year to 18 months and then they start to disappear and are usually gone by 2-3 years of age.  The only time they are a concern is if they are over an eye (because they can affect vision) or when a child has 5 or more (if they have that many, they may have them internally also).  Show the spot to your child's doctor at his next appointment to be sure that it is in fact a hemangioma.

Question 2

hi i have small red blood dots on my scrotum. had them since i was 16 im now 34 still have them. they sometimes bleed.is it normal?i m abit worried

Accepted Answer

Angiokeratomas?: What described most likely represents the occurrence of angiokeratomas of scrotal skin, which carries no clinical significance with no need for active Rx - no cancerous. For annoying bleeding or cosmetic reason, skillful application of electrocautery or CO2 laser can eliminate the spots nicely. For you, you may see urologist for confirmation or leave them alone as long as being comfortable.

Question 3

small red blood spec on scrotum, herpes?

Accepted Answer

Herpes simplex: Possible, but not likely.  Need to see this to be sure.  Show it to your doctor.

Question 4

i have a bump on my scrotum and its kind of a dark red like blood is built up in that spot. i have no clue what it means.

Accepted Answer

Cherry Tumor: It is either a blood blister from a minor injury, a blocked hair follicle (most likely in the young) related to changing hormones or it is a benign blood vessel growth known as a hemangioma.  If it does not calm down you should show your dad to see if a doctor needs to take a look at it.

Question 5

i have a bright red bump on right side of scrotum when i tried to squeeze it once a little bit of blood came out what is it?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Could be an (infected) cyst.  See your doctor who will also assess your sex habits and the history.

Question 6

i cut my scrotum while shaving with a new razor....it is a minor cut ..the region got a little red with blood but it didn't flow out is it harmful?

Accepted Answer

Not really: A superficial cut to the scrotum should not cause any permanent harm to sexual performance or fertility. Continue to monitor the area for signs of infection (redness, pain, swelling, pus...) and see your doctor if symptoms appear. Take Care

Question 7

i have around three red (like blood filled) vesicle on my scrotum. it is only as big as pen points and appears somewhere to where the vessels run.

Accepted Answer

Sounds benign: These sound like angiokeratomas or angiomas. They are benign and can commonly occur on the scrotum. They are a small overgrowths of blood vessels under the skin. Having a few on the scrotum is not concerning. To be sure of the diagnosis, I'd recommend getting them evaluated by a dermatologist.

Question 8

will hard scrotum scratching and rubbing loose scrotum skin between fingers because of severe jock itch cause bright red blood in urine?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If the scrotum rubbing involves only the skin, then no it should not produce blood in your urine. However, if the scratching injures the vas deferens or seminal vesicles then bleeding will be present during urination and ejaculation.  You need to see a MD or Urologist MD to be certain that there is not a bladder, prostate, or kidney problem higher up the chain of the urinary system.

Question 9

i have a red bumpy itchy rash on my scrotum. been treating it for jock itch for 4 days, now i have blood blisters there. any ideas on what this is?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Your doctor should examine you and diagnose the problem. Itchiness could be caused by some type of allergic reaction, irritation, or an infection of some type. You might be getting blisters from scratching if it's that itchy. You might be scratching at night and not know it. Good luck.

Question 10

hi. 23 year old male. my scrotum is red and swollen. no fever, nausea, vomiting, no blood in my urine or semen, and it is a dull achy pain. ?

Accepted Answer

Yeast irritation : Your age and symptoms makes yeast or jock itch a possibility.  There are over the counter remedies at your pharmacy. Hairdryer the area after each shower. If not better in a few days, back to your doc. Good luck.
