Swollen and discolored , what concerns me is the bottom of the scrotum is getting hard and completely
Black. Do I need to be concerned with this ? Will it go away?

Hi,

If its completely dark black it can be due to necrosis - you need to go to ER immediately. If it is not that black, it can be due to infection - still you need to go to ER for appropriate antibiotics.Share a picture for confirmation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. S. R. Raveendran, Sexologist
