Why is my dog's scrotum black and irritated? Should I worry?

Question

My dogs scrotum is black and it looks irritated, is that normal? I've never had a male dog so I'm not sure if some dogs scrotums are supposed to look like that or not. I'm a bit worried. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 10 months old | 7 lbs

If the area around the scrotum has changed in appearance (ie turned black) or is bothersome or painful to Prince, then it can indicate something wrong is going on. Injury to the area, testicular torsion, allergies and more can all cause pain, irritation or swelling and should be checked out by your vet ASAP.
