Skin condition on underside of scrotum
Hi,
I have a reddish patch on underside of my scrotum. I have attached two pics. This has been for almost a year now. I had ignored it so far because it itches on rare occasionally only, otherwise I don't feel its presence. But I am worried why it is still there after so long.
The skin on it gets dry, hard, whitish and peels off. This cycle repeats. I tried anti fungal cream (not regularly) but didn't see effect. Please advise on treatment.

Fungal infection or Ring worm.. when occurs in groin, called as jock itch.. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds..It's mostly circular or round in appearance.. May be red or black in colour.. Treatment depending on the type and severity.. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it..As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment..So, please send more photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
