What should I do if the skin above the testicles is accidentally scratched?

Patient's question:

My scrotum's skin was accidentally scratched, and I didn't realize it until today when I felt a bit of pain. Upon inspection, I noticed it was inflamed with a wound about the size of pork. After I made it bleed, will it still become inflamed?

Doctor's answer:

The testicular cavernosa is rich in blood vessels. It is strictly forbidden to pull or tug at it. It is recommended to maintain local hygiene and dryness at all times, wash daily, and use povidone-iodine for sterilization at the wound site. If necessary, apply an anti-inflammatory ointment.
The testicles can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment.
