i have dry patches in scrotum skin.it itches .what can i do to remove it?

Question

My scrotum skin itches intensely and when scratched peels and cracks very easily all over .The flakes look like shedded snake skin. Is this an std?

Answer 1

Use moisturizer: Apply a moisturizer cream - if not successful, see dermatologist or urologist.

Answer 2

Ask your doctor: Normally not a problem if normal healing occurs but check with your doctor to be sure.

Answer 3

Acne Therapy: Acne treatments work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection, reducing the inflammation or doing all four. With most prescription acne treatments, you may not see results for four to eight weeks, and your skin may get worse before it gets better. There are topicals like ziana and epiduo and oral medication like solodyn (minocycline). See your dermatologist.

Answer 4

Could be cosmetic: No coomon for a young person. Please see a pediatrician or a dermatologist and have a great day!

Answer 5

Probably not: In japan they showed it could happen, but with 40% peroxide. It's illegal in the usa, here we only get up to 3-5% no proof here.

Answer 6

Doubtful: The most common problem with the chronic use of peroxide is developing a yeast or fungal infection. This is due to the fact that the normal bacterial flora in the mouth has been disrupted and you get an overgrowth.

Answer 7

No proof: No evidence to support. See oral surgeon or ENT doc if you have any of these symptoms: Persistent mouth sore, persistent mouth pain, a lump or thickening in the cheek, a white/red patch on the gums, tongue, tonsil, or lining of the mouth, a sore throat, hoarseness or feeling that something is caught in the throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing/chewing.

Answer 8

Eczema treatment: Keeping your eczema under good control is the best option. If you are having repeated epidsodes, talk to your dermatologist about more intensive treatment options for keeping your eczema under better control.

Answer 9

Hard to say: The white patches is where your skin is healing but has not had time to return pigment tone to its proper density. You can use a cover makeup in the short term, but better control of your eczema would be required to avoid this issue.
