What Causes Dry,white,flaky Appearance And Itching In The Groin?
my groin and scrotum ONLY on the left side have taken on a dry, white, flakey appearance and itches like nothing else. Some days it s not that bad, and other days I just can t seem to make it go away. Moisturing lotion does nothing, only anti itch cream helps, but only for a few hours. It s worse at night and after sex. Some times, I wake myself up scratching my groin. So to recap, the skin is discolored white, it s flakey, and it itches like crazy. It s only localized on the left side. What gives?? I want to see a GP, but I don t have health insurance yet. Any ideas?

hello
I share your concern
Looking at your detailed description it might be related to fungal infections or allergic reaction,
I would advise you to use antifungal or antibacterial ointment like clotrimoxazole ointment to be applied at least thrice a day
maintain good hygiene, change your undergarments or wash it with antiseptic solution
If you can write back to me with a photograph, your age and relevant medical history, so that I will be able to tell tou more precisely.
waiting for your reply
Best wishes
