What Could Be The Clear Lesion Underneath Scrotum?

I have noticed a clear lesion underneath my scrotum. Slight burning, some clear discharge. It appearing two weeks after unprotected sex with a new partner. Is there immediate need to see a professional? Is there a chance it is not a serious STD? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

A clear lesion underneath the scrotal skin can be due to some form of infection or boil. At the same time a STD cannot be ruled out entirely. Whether STD or a non STD, it requires treatment at the earliest. There are infections that can proliferate and involve the entire scrotal skin and cause serious inflammation, which if not controlled, can cause gangrene and this is a potentially life threatening condition.

Keeping in mind the discomfort and complications, I suggest you immediately consult a health professional and take treatment.
