I've been dealing with a fissure for the past 6 months, and I've been using sitz baths with warm water to manage it. Now, I'm experiencing a burning sensation in my scrotum, and the right side, especially the upper end, is painful. I also have diabetes. Can you help me figure out what's going on? It's starting to really frustrate me.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're experiencing a burning sensation in your scrotum, especially after dealing with fissures for six months.Given your symptoms and medical history, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a urologist or a dermatologist, to determine the underlying cause of the burning sensation.That being said, here are some potential causes and factors to consider:Potential Causes1. Diabetes-related complications: High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and cause numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the genital area.2. Fissure-related complications: The sitz baths and fissure treatment might have caused skin irritation, leading to the burning sensation.3. Scrotal dermatitis: Inflammation of the scrotal skin, possibly caused by irritation, allergies, or infections.4. Balanitis: Inflammation of the glans penis, which can cause burning sensations in the scrotum.5. Nerve damage: Damage to the nerves in the scrotal area, possibly caused by diabetes, trauma, or surgery.
