My 6 year old son has several bug bites around the inside of his legs, buttocks, & testicles from playing outside. Despite putting medicine on the bites & giving him an oral antihistamine medication, he is still scratching. I noticed tonight that his testicles are now bruised. Could this be caused from him scratching that area so much? Thanks!
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. As the skin over the testes is thin with rich blood supply severe scratching for a log time leads to bruising. Continue antihistamine to reduce itching and an antibiotic to prevent infection. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V.
