Hello I'm 18 and have been dealing with this problem for about 2 years. The skin on my scrotum has become dry and becomes very itchy at times. The dryness has caused the skin to be a lighter color. The skin seems to be somewhat scaly at times when the dryness is extreme. Little flakes are produced and they shed in my underwear. My scrotum becomes extremely itchy and to a point where it is almost unbearable. These times, I can't help but to scratch the itch. I know this is only making it worse. I've never been to a doctor for this and I don't even know which one I'd report to.
It started as a single dry skin patch on my scrotum a little bigger than a quarter in size. At first the itch wasn't as bad, but then the area began to grow and spread across my scrotum over time. And as it continued to spread, the itching became more frequent and more unbearable. There have never been any bumps of any kind. The skin on my scrotum has become dry almost all over and the feel is sometimes leathery. This problem has also spread on to the foreskin on my penis I believe. I am not circumcised, and the foreskin has also began to show signs similar to my scrotum. My anus also has developed a similar itch now, so I believe the problem has spread to other areas. I've taken a few pictures to see if you could tell me what is wrong and how I can solve this problem. Please help. Thank you for your time.
