This is very likely to be a scrotal dermatitis. It could be cause by a contact allergy or irritation or by a infective agent (bacteria, fungal). I strongly recommend to avoid any licking, chewing or scratching of the area (Gizmo would probably need a buster collar) otherwise the inflammation wan't disappear. You could bath the area with some diluted hibiscrub once a day for 3 days but if the problem persist a check up with the vet and prescription meds might be needed. Please post again on the forum if you would like to discuss it further. I hope my answer was helpful.

It does look like Gizmo has some papules on his scrotum, which could be a sign of a skin infection or simply topical irritation. If he has been licking his scrotum I would recommend seeing a vet to determine whether or not he might have allergies. Otherwise I think you could monitor this area, but if you are noticing new lesions or he seems itchy you should see the vet.

Yes, it looks like scrotal dermatitis. I suggest you use these medicated pads on the scrotum 1-2 times per day. If after using the pads for about 5 days it is not looking better then he should see your vet.

Hi! The scrotum might be infected, or he may have some sort of bug bite, or irritation in the area. It is really important that he doesn't lick at the area, so if you have a "cone" collar, put it on, to prevent him from traumatizing the skin. These sores often turn in to hotspots (infected patches of skin), so if this continues, I would suggest he see his vet for treatment of the area. Best of luck!

Even though a picture would help to understand better the underlying cause, this presentation could be due to a trauma or localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria). A check up, appropriate disinfection and eventually antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection can eventually be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid licking. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
