The symptoms are suggestive of tinea cruris (dermatophytosis) or chronic eczematous dermatitis of the scrotal skin. The presence of itching, scaling, peeling, and discharge points more towards a fungal intertrigo, possibly with secondary irritation.
Next Steps
Use a topical antifungal cream like luliconazole 1% once daily for 2–4 weeks. Keep the area dry and wear loose cotton underwear. If symptoms persist, a short course of oral antifungals may be needed.
Health Tips
Avoid using over-the-counter steroid-antifungal combinations, as they can worsen fungal infections. Maintain hygiene and avoid moisture retention in the groin area.
