Crack on scrotal skin
by 1jpaulhome, May 25, 2009 09:40PM
Doctor, I have read many things on STD's, while in shower I had a stinging on my scrotum, I did not notice it until I was in the shower. I noticed a small single crack in the skin, it did not bleed,but when I directed the stream of water on it did sting. The area was not red, and I was in the heat working the day before. It healed in two days,and I could feel it as I walked around. It was just dry some dry pink skin on healing. My dermatologist (he saw it the next day since he was going to take wart off my hand) he said that skin on the scrotum is thin and can crack like chaped lips. I have read that even a single crack on your genitals can be considered a herpes sore. It has not come back. but never had this before.....perhaps just concerned due to area?

From the symptoms ,it does not sound like herpes sores.It can be due to dryness of the skin or friction rub of the skin.Pls don’t worry about it. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. 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.Also wear cotton undergarments.
Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
