My male dog has a large scab on his testicles. What should I do?

Question

Ive noticed a large scab on my dogs testicles. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 9 years and 6 months old

This often happens when dogs excessively lick their testicles, then the skin gets infected and scabs over. I suggest you keep him from licking ( you can put an e-collar on him or a t-shirt or a baby jump suit, if you have one, and then take him to a vet this coming week for an exam. He may need antibiotics for the skin infection.
