Hello,
A few months back i started having this problem of chronic drying and peeling off skin from the scrotum, predominantly on the left side.
initially i did not pay much attention to the problem other than just getiing a bit disgusted by the tiny flakes of skin left in my underwear. then about 5 months back, during a routine check of my scrotum i found out that the lower part of the left side of my scrotum appeared more pale and pinkish compared to the rest of the scrotal skin, which is rater dark brown(i'm an Indian with brown skin). it also felt smooth textured compared to the wrinkled feel of the scrotum.
Upon examination, the dematologist said that it could be either due to drug usage or deficiency of zinc in my diet, but wasn't quite interested in giving much attention to the problem. He suggested using Hydrocortisone 2.5% soluti0n with Oilatum moisturising cream, which i've been using for the past 4 months or so with the results only heading in the wrong direction.
As of now, the skin on the left side of my scrotum feels raw, reddish, very thin and smooth comapred to the dark wrinkled thick-ish skin which i had before. moreover, whenever i have an erection in the morning there seems to be a tight elastic sensation on the scrotal skin(left side), along with a burning sensation lasting for sometime.
I 'm 19 and an otherwise healthy male and did not have sex with anyone as of yet, and have never used any unprescribed substances. The zinc-deficiency doesn't really convince me since the problem is localised(mostly) to the left side. I personally think that since the left testicle hangs lower than the right, the left side of the scrotum faces a higher amount of conatct with the underwear material.
Any suggetions/help regarding the problem would be much appreciated as its driving me nuts for a long itme now.
Thanks |
