Scrotal surgery wound

Surgeries that involve operating the testicles and scrotum can leave a scar at the inguinal and scrotal level. Some of the results of these wounds and then scars are those shown in the photos.

In the inguinal area the scar is thick and lasts for a few months and then it slowly diminishes.

In the scrotal area the scars are hidden in the normal wrinkles of the scrotum. Note that the surgery stitches have not yet fallen off in this photo.

In both areas, the stitches are reabsorbed or fall on their own and should not be removed.
