Brief Answer:
Metronidazole for scrotal infection

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned that you have an infection on the scrotum and that if someone performs oral sex that they may contract the infection. I would counsel you that you should wait until you are completely healed before anyone performs oral sex. There is a chance of spreading the infection and possibly making the infection worse. You can wait until the infection is cleared before you engage in sex.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
