Red itchy and very dry skin all in my groin plus on penis

Hi iv had this problem in my groin that has gotten worse over time because i am too embarresd to talk to any one about it. For the past year or so iv had this rash in my groin that has came and gone until the last couple months it hasn't left and i think becuase i never treated it, it got worse and spread. I have had dry skin above my penis where my pubic are is thats been there for awhile also and also itches, also right above my scrotum on the bottom of my shaft my skins become dry and shiny which is worrieng me. On my scrotum it's red and has started to get dry and skin is coming off. Under the head of my penis theres red bumps very very small but there is many of them that sometimes itch and red area on the head of my penis, im wondering if i have more than one thing going on in there, almost like jock itch and a yeast infection this has been going on for awhile and i really want it to be over with please help.
-Thank You

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of eczema skin rather than a fungal infection. Fungal infection presents as red and dry when it is chronic in nature. The typical symptoms of eczema include redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing or bleeding.

You can take antihistaminics like Benadryl and Claritin. Topical low potency corticosteroids and calamine lotion are also helpful in relieving the symptoms. More severe cases require oral corticosteroids. For that you need to consult your dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hello,
Red bumps are not found in eczema but the dry red patches on penis and scrotum are indicative of eczema. Moreover you have had the rashes for so long, so chances of it being due to eczema are more. The bumps can be due to an irritation caused by rubbing with clothes, sweat rashes, irritated hair follicles or if they itch severely then scabies can be a possibility. A dermatologist’s examination is mandatory to confirm a diagnosis.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
