Patient's question:
Because the child has long since outgrown the diaper, so I haven't paid attention these past few days. It was only when bathing the child last night that I noticed his scrotum was a bit red, and the child didn't want to say what was wrong?Doctor's answer:
First, consider whether it is trauma-related skin irritation in the scrotum, such as friction from clothing or bites from insects. If these causes are ruled out, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine if it is caused by local bacterial infection, hydrocele, hernia, or other conditions. Generally, an ultrasound examination of the testicles is required. If the condition is mild, treatment is relatively simple. If it is severe, surgical treatment may be necessary.
