HelloThanks for query, You have noticed that your 84 years old father has his scrotum and penis turned black suddenly. Is he diabetic? Mostly this is due to what is called as Fournier gangrene . You need to consult qualified General Surgeon immediately for clinical assessment to confirm the diagnosis. And get following basic tests done 1)Blood Sugar Levels 2) Ultrasound Scanning of Scrotum.3) Color Doppler study of scrotum. He needs to be hospitalized for further treatment which will depend upon the results of these tests. Chat Doctor.  1)Get his blood sugar level
