Blackened Scrotum??

[StLouisGuy]

Had 1 "six month" lupron shot 25 sessions of EBRT and then HBR Brachy. Only real side effects were urinary, until 11 days after the Brachy when woke up with scrotum totally black. Radiation oncologist says never seen it before and couldn't find anything in literature. Neurologist assumes, but does not know, that removal of beachy tubes caused bleeding and took 11 days to work to surface. Radiation oncologist says unlikely. All say its blood and should clear in time, regardless. Has anyone experienced, or heard of this?

Nov 9, 2017 - Black spots on your scrotum are usually caused by a condition called angiokeratoma of Fordyce. These spots are made up of blood vessels that have expanded, or dilated, and become visible on the surface of your skin. ... Angiokeratoma of Fordyce can also appear on the shaft of your penis and around your inner thighs.

I had seen that, but my situation is not spots, but total blackening of entire scrotum. I think the affected area is minimizing, leading me to believe that its clearing up in the other areas and working its way through, so am hopeful. I agree with Jeff85705 that I did not think the doctor response I got was professional or appropriate. Quite disturbing, actually.

Personally, I would want to hear more from my doctors than a shrug and an "I dunno, maybe it will go away." You deserve more than this. Good luck.
