My dog has red swollen blotchy spots on his testicles and I'm not sure what it could be. Looks like it could be a rash if some sort.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bronco. Yes, I agree that his scrotum appears very irritated. I recommend placing an E-collar on him to prevent any licking which could make the skin worse. If he will let you, you can bath him with a moisturizing shampoo such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula to soothe the skin. If the lesions do not resolve, he will need to see his veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
