What Causes A Red Spot On The Testicle After Treated For Prostrate Cancer?

I am a prostate cancer survivor since June 2006when I had surgery and radiation in 2008. I am receiving hormone therapy treatment when my psa reaches 10. 2 weeks ago I found a rough spot on the skin halfway between my rectum and testicals. Is this something that I should be worried about it.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

A rough spot on the scrotum skin in the perineal region is not a serious concern for the cancer. It might however be an infection or post radiation therapy skin change. The area between the rectum and testis is occupied by fat under the skin. Usually any infection in the fat appears like a soft lump that can occasionally get painful. Please get examined by your doctor should have any pain or discomfort in the area which can be due to an infection and requires proper treatment with antibiotics.

If it is only in the skin then please get it examined by a dermatologist for any suspected fungal infection and get treatment. This is less likely to be a serious concern but must be examined and treated. Please do not worry.
