Reevaluation: You should be on antibiotics. If you are and you are getting worse so that the infection has spread to your penis, then you need to be evaluated. Inflammation of the skin is termed cellulitis, and should be controlled as soon as possible. Go back to the er first since they will be able to document any changes and contact an appropriate specialist.

All part of the same: Acute epididymitis is usually caused by bacteria and can also effect the penis.You need to continue antibiotics and need to follow up with your doctor or a urologist.
