So, I just want to check in, on my scrotum, the skin was a little dry and flakey, and the bumps on shaft seemed to have gone done, these are not open wounds, almost, more like a rash?

Obviously I dont want it to be herpes, but, could it be something less serious like, Jock itch, or some type of yeast infection?

I have attached two new pictrues as well.
