Without at least seeing a photo it is difficult to give advice. This could be a serious issue or it may be just some scrotal dematitis. This is usually very easy to treat so I'm not sure why you say the vet can't help you with a solution. Honestly, the only permanent solution is to have him neutered. This issue doesn't happen in neutered dogs. This could be a recurring issue because him scrotum is staying too wet. Do you keep him in a kennel? Is he laying in his urine a lot? You can try this over the counter antiseptic spray to see if that helps. You need to spray the scrotum 3-4 times per day in the beginning and once it starts to look better you can decrease to twice a day and then once a day. You may have to continue using it every couple days as a prevention or until you can figure out why he keeps getting this. ( ) Also, no matter what you use to treat the scrotum, it will not get better if you allow him to lick it. So, if he is licking it a lot you will need to buy him a cone collar until the scrotum is healed.

This is called scrotal dermatitis. It is often due to the scrotum staying wet and unsanitary. The only true cure for this is to have him neutered. Otherwise it is just a management issue on your part. His case looks very severe and painful. I suggest you take him to your vet for treatment and to get advice.
