Skin on scrotum burns.

[Alfinito123]

Im 13. I know im young. have never had sex. recently i was swimming in my pool and my scrotum started to burn when i got out. i dont know if its chemicals in the pool or what not. or somehow sun got through my pants. or it just got irritated by soap i used. but the skin flaked off on the left side of my scrotum and it burns somewhat. not aggressive pain but a little. Could anyone help me with this. is it a disease. it cant be an std though. Please help. Im worried a little.

Thanks for the help. I think it was b/c i wear boxers in the pool and i got out and skated while still wet so the boxers rubbed some skin off. it sorta "scabbed" up and came off and now everything is back to normal. Thanks for the Time you took on answering.

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it sounds like irritant contact dermatitis.
Avoid using any lotions and creams over the scrotum for the meantime. Wash it with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat it dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and see if this improves.If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.

If the irritation persists then pls get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
