The scrotum appears to be normal to me. Some dogs have a pink scrotum and it is not concerning. I would only be worried if scrotum was ulcerated, oozing, has scabs on it, etc. This does not look inflamed. If they have a specific time where they are red/inflamed you can use a hydrocortisone spray to help with the redness. The only permanent cure for scrotal dermatitis (which he doesn't seem to have, at least according to these photos) is castration with a scrotal ablation.
