White Flaky Dead Skin On Scrotum, Peeling Off. Itching, Dry Skin, Seems Like Jock Itch. Treatment ?

Uhm…. I’m 15 years old and I went to go to the bathroom and I saw that my scrotum had white flaky dead skin and is peeling off all over my scrotum but it doesn't hurt and its not sore, I was itching it yesterday and it felt like my skin was very dry, it looked like if u ever put glue on your hand and let it dry, then you peel it off… it looks like that. I researched to find out what I might have and it kind of seemed like jock itch but I’m not quite sure that why I’m asking you guys just to make sure and to know what it really is.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
There are so many fold in between scrotal skin known as rugae fold .
These fold have somany sweat glands and due to deposition of sebum and unhygienic condition such type of situation take place.
When you try to rub gently peeling of sebum with dirt take place .
Actually this is not a disease rather due to unhygienic condition .
Wash your scrotal skin very gently and regular wash is important , so no treatment require.
Good luck , take care.
