A member asked:

Red, sensitive scrotum. slightly itchy. no lesions or sores. glands arent swollen no other symptoms. havent had sex. 4 days later. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely reaction: A localized sensitivity/redness usually points to a local contact with a soap/spray/ chemical/etc. . If you are aware of such an exposure in the day prior to noticing the problem, just avoid the stuff and it should fade within a week or so. If you can't think of a source, you & your doc may need to sort this out.
