What Could Be The Cause Of Redness, Swelling, Dryness Over The Testicles That Aggravates On Urinating ?

Recently my testicles have turned bright red with a line of normal skin color down the center about a nail in thickness. When touched they feel dry, delicate, and very sore. I have not had sex in awhile so i do not believe it is an std but i figured this would be the best place to ask. Another thing i have noticed is that it tends to get worse when i urinate.

Your skin around the testis might get infected with Tinea Cruris(Ring worm) possibly. Its an fungal infection get treated earliest to avoid super added bacterial infection. During urination your scrotum getting ventilation because of removal of inner wears, scrotal skin will contract to maintain temperature of testis. I hope you might have itching too? [fungal infection is the commonest one on the location you mentioned ]
