I have had the redness for 7 days. There is slight itching but no burning. There is discomfort whenever the scrotum moves or rubs against my underclothes. The feeling is rather like that from rubbing an abrasion.
The only ailments I suffer from are asthma and osteoarthritis. My only allergy is to penicillin.
Thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back,
It could be dermatitis.
I would recommend you to apply a mild topical steroid like Cortisone cream to the affected area twice daily for 7-10 days.
Also, wear cotton underwear, avoid strenuous physical activity and stay in the cool airy environment.
