Skin abrasion on the scrotum is most commonly caused by trauma, scrotal inflammation, or scrotal eczema. When a patient suffers from bruising or cuts leading to skin ulceration, skin breakdown may also occur. If inflammatory symptoms such as redness, swelling, and fluid discharge are present, this indicates an infection and can manifest as skin damage. In cases of scrotal eczema, skin breakdown is also one of the symptoms. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical examination and treatment at a hospital.
