Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I found a red dry skin on my scrotum today. What is is? Is it dangerous? How can I treat it? I am still a virgin. I have attached the pictures of the dry skin.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It looks like scrotal dermatitis. Try doing the following.

  1. If it is itching, I suggest you take tablet Teczine (Levocetirizine hydrochloride) 10 mg, once a night for a month.
  2. Also, mix equal amounts of HH Sone (Mometasone) cream and Dermadew aloe lotion, and apply it on thedry skin.
  3. Do not use soap or shampoo over this area, as chemicals may further worsen it.
  4. Keep the area dry.
  5. Take multivitamins A to Z daily, once daily for a month.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking medicines after their consent.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me if it is dangerous? And what are the causes for scrotal dermatitis? I have added new pictures, please take a look.

Answered by Dr. Gaurang Gupta

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen the new pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity) also. No, it is not dangerous. But, sometimes it becomes chronic. So, keep it moisturized by applying cream, and avoid soap. It happens due to dryness and chemical exposure. Do not worry, follow the treatment for 2 to 3 weeks, and you will see a difference.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
