HELP scar on scrotum

HELP scar on scrotum

The area between my scrotum and thigh was itching and i scratched it and it left a scar on my scrotum (its been 2 weeks) i just recently noticed the scar and noticed it is above skin level and when i run the scar on my scrotum rubs against my leg and it hurts after. Is there something i can do to flatten the scar? i heard its bad to use any creams on the scrotum.

Hi Ayla,
You can apply rash free ointment for scrotum. This scar will take time to flatten, but over a period of time it will.

Hi,

A scar is an overgrowth of fibrous tissue and blood vessels that form as a result of injury, a cut or a burn.

Sometimes surgery may be required to improve the scar. In this case, the surgeon will remove excess scar tissue, and reposition the incision so that it heals in a less visible pattern. This scar removal surgery is usually done under local or general anesthesia in the doctor's office.

Vit E creams are supposed to lighten scars, so you could apply them directly on the scar,but it may take e long time for results to show, if at all.

Scars, especially old scars, may be treated with PhotoDerm, a non-invasive, laser-like device that emits an intense flash of light that works directly on the scar by reducing the blood vessels present in the scar tissue.

Let us know if you may have any other questions.

Regards
