Hi,

You seem to have neurodermatitis on scrotal skin. The skin might be discolored, thick and dry in affected part. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. You may take oral steroid like methyl prednesolone in tappering dose for few weeks with antihistaminics like levocetirizine . Apply tacrolimus oint or pimecrolimus cream. Avoid worries and tension. Reduce stress and anxiety. You may take fluoxetin to reduce anxiety. Avoid soap bath. You take Sitz bath in dettol containing water.keep the hygiene good. Improve the immunity by taking immunoboosters. If needed, you doctor might give intralesional triamcinolone in mild strenght. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
