My scrotum is completely flaking all skin...

This happened to me i'm 14 and i recently masturbated using shower gel like a couple of others on this forum, i put some moisturizer on them and peeled off all of the flaking skin (it helps to trim your pubes before peeling off the skin) and it seems to be fine now . I think it's just that your balls are very dry so try this it worked for me :) 

hey when i was younger i had this problem in all honesty it happened when i would jerk it with soap( wich dries out skin) and wouldnt dry myself afterwards

I have had the exact same thing all use have said about three times, one was when i shaved and then again when i used shower gel, for some reason a few months later it happened again because i used shower gel again because i am a **** so i advise you stay away from razors and shower gel. 

Hey guys I have just noticed the same thing and all the same symptoms as you guys have described. I am an athlete who plays sports everyday for Atleast 2 hours a day. But I also admit to using soap, and body wash to help "the process" and i admit it that I probably did not do the best job of washing it off completely after. So I am not sure if it is because of the soap or because it may be from a bacteria or infection. But what I also have a weird symptom that I have not seen or heard about so far and that is this. All of my symptoms match up perfectly and all my causes for these symptoms (sports and soap) also match up. But one symptom that I have not heard about is I have noticed and very strange very distinct strong smell that I have never noticed before in my life or have ever had before until around the time I noticed these symptoms. Any ideas or help would be great and please I am freaking out so if you can take the time to reply and help me figure out what is going on or to

Use caress soap... do not use anti itch creams...wash hands before and after masturbation...use ky jelly...take an oatmeal bath..soak in vinegar and water it kills yeast infections..drink plenty of water..ask your dr. about eczema..and change your underwear to boxers.

My ballsack was really itchy the other day and I was scratching them in school and it can't be a std cause I'm 13. The skin is flaky and not sore. What is it? Is it dangerous?

Ok here is the truth it is not an std so do not worry about that, because this same thing has happened to me twice and both times have been separated by a year and I am a virgin and I am clean myself from such diseases. If you do masturbate it is because of the lotion or other lubricates you are using and your skin might not be used to it, I had discovered this when it happened the first time when I had ran out of lotion and used shampoo(which was a very bad mistake) because certain shampoos have ingredients not meant for you skin, especially such soft skins as your penis or testicles. If you had shaved then it might be because you have sensitive skin to the shaver or the shaving gel you used with it. I recommend if you have dead skin right now then peel all of it off when taking a hot shower and use a new wash clothe to help take all of it off if needed, and also shave if you need to(very gently) then put on some Aloe Vera or lotion you know your skin is adjust to. I did this and I have not had a problem since for two years now. Make sure when taking showers that no body wash or shampoo is left on your testicles because this might of prompted it also. The second time this had happened to me was because of that same reason, I had left body wash when I was on a rush out of the shower so make sure that every time you take a shower your testicles are completely clean. I hope this helps you because I know this is no pleasure and is much of a hassle and has scared many of you.

This is from not showering after exercise or sports. It can also be caused from wearing dirty underwear. Aloe gel would be your best bet. I'm 14 and this is an awkward topic to ask my parents to take me to the doctor about. Stay clean. It's not a big deal, just a male yeast infection or jock itch. Best of luck getting rid of this sh*t!

i have also had this problem lately. i think its from masterbating with body wash because i have no lube or lotion. after im done i cant always take a full shower so most of the soap residue is left to dry on my scrotum. this problem didnt start to occur until i started using the wash. im gonna discontinue use of it and monitor the progress over a couple of weeks. i doubt its an STD because my sexual encounters havent changed or switched partners. plus i havent found any STD's with these symptoms as of now

Ur fine just stay in the shower for about 45 min so skin is soggy and scrape off dead skin you'll be fine

Hi Guys, I am 14 and have the same problem as you guybs. What we may have is called Contact Dermatitis, and is nothing to worry about. There are many treatments for it, but the most recommended are these. Firstly, avoid the thing that caused the reaction. For most of you this is soap/shower gel so just try to not apply it to that area. If you do this then it should heal up in about a week. If you want to soothe/help it then you might want to apply a moisturizer to it. I recommend Aloe Vera Gel, but I could not advise any others due to the different factors in them. I would not advise to peel the skin, as the skin below will then become exposed and suffer from the same things as before. So, in general, avoid the thing that caused the reaction, maybe apply a moisturizer and keep aired and not shut tight between your thighs. Hope this helps!

Ive been going thru the same thing i just peeled it all off it took like two hours i think im turning into a snake?

Wow, i have never been more frustrated reading a forum article about medical conditions than this onm. Almost felt like reading one of those windows forums, where they all talk about the problem but not even a single soul around with an actual explanation or solution. If any one out there has any clue whatsoever, why ones balls might shedding skin and look like a raw babies bottoms. That would be really helpful thanks.  Mine started to shed just.  I definitely know it ain't some STD nonsense...the only women who has ever touched me in that region is my grandma and that was 10 years back....so please someone out there. Post the solution....not your experience, thank you very much. Sorry people just extremely irritated from reading 5 pages of first hand accounts and no solutions >< "

I've had the same exact thing happen to me. I am on the swim team so i am in the pool a lot. I remember one day I got out of the pool without rinsing off and I just went home. I didn't shower for a few day and a week later I looked at my nuts any I had the same exact symptoms. I believe you get it from not washing the chlorine of your skin, I started using soap that was a 1/4 moisturizer and I took extreme care to wash those spots with that soap. My symptoms went away in two days and never came back. Hope this helps :)

Equate a&d ointment!! I tried what seemed like everything, nothing worked but this DID!! I hope it works for you and anyone else with this problem.
