How Can Itching And Dry Skin Around The Scrotum Be Treated?

about 2-3 weeks ago my scrotum started itching. It was a little bit red but not very noticeable. This last for a few days. about a week ago I shaved down there and noticed what seems to be dry patches of skin(looks kind of white). Its hards to tell but I think it looks a little scaley.

Hi,

Most probably it is due to superficial fungal infections. You can apply low potency antifungal ointment like Clotrimazole for symptomatic relief. If lesion persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
