Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have noticed that I am getting these patches on my scrotum. I saw the patch a few months ago, but I did not think much about it. Now, it has started spreading. Recently they have been irritating, and it seems dry around that specific area. Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
These look like psoriatic patches (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). However, fungal infection is a possibility. I would suggest seeing a dermatologist to get a thorough evaluation and an exact diagnosis.
Meanwhile, start using 1 percent Clotrimazole and 1 percent Hydrocortisone twice a day for a week, and see how it works. Both of these are available over-the-counter (OTC). Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly.
Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
Thank you.
