I have dry skin like I m shedding on my balls and it s been there for awhile and same as on my dick, there is redness near my dick/balls on my left/right leg. And dry skin around my dick/balls and on my legs/hip. Also, it itches once in awhile. Any idea what it is? And how to fix it?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor I will keep a possibility of fungal infection/Tina courts. The site of involvement, flaking, itching and redness are all suggestive of a fungal infection. The diagnosis can be easily confirmed with a KOH preparation made from the scale to look for fungal infection under the microscope. I would suggest that you may try an OTC topical antifungal e.g. clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily for 2-4 weeks. An OTC oral antihistamine e.g. cetirizine 10 mg once daily will provide you symptomatic relief from itching. Wearing loose fitting cotton clothing and bathing twice daily would also help. Regards
