right side of scrotum looks like chapped

Hello,

This week i noticed my right side of scrotum looked reddish when compared to left side and is like chapped lips in winter with white colored lines on it and it is becoming normal after i take shower. But, it is going back to it's original shape after some time just as lips become normal for some time after they were made wet.

If i stretch the skin on the right side of the scrotum, it would form and stay in the position i stretched it to.
Is this a problem or will become normal?

Please help me in this regard.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I stopped using the body wash for that area. I don't know for that reason or for some other reason, it is improving day by day and it is almost normal. I haven't used any cosmetics, steroid cream, moisturizers or anything. It is heeling to normal by itself. I don't know the chances of this happening again.

I will keep you posted on this. Once again thank you very much for your prompt response.

Kind regards.

Hello,
It sounds like eczema. Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Wash the areas several times with fresh water and do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.

Also use mild steroid cream and good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.

If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
