Angiokeratoma of Fordyce as a cause of red scrotum

Cutis. 2002 Jan;69(1):50-1.

Abstract

Two men presented with asymptomatic diffuse redness of the scrotum. Examination showed angiokeratoma of Fordyce (AF), an associated finding. In our practice, AF and diffuse scrotal redness co-occur in 50% of patients. Providing reassurance to the patient is appropriate if this clinical link is detected.
