Hello, yesterday morning everything was fine. But last night my scrotum and penis suddenly became dry and flaky/scaly. The scrotum is also a bit bumpy, and definitely dry to the touch. It is only slightly itchy as of now. It doesn't seem too severe, but I'm definitely worried. It's not an STD, as the last time I had sex was 4 months ago and both of us are 100% clean. Googling for an answer didn't give me much.

I have had this problem for 3 years -- itchy, flaky, dry scrotum -- and over the last couple weeks my symptoms have improved probably 90%. I am just dealing with the last bit of inflammatory skin healing. I am so grateful for natural medicines!
I think the condition started as an internal fungal infection or something. Over time, the scrotum became quite leathery and inflamed and I would wake up almost every night scratching. My scrotum would sometimes feel like there was liquid stuck inside it. Sometimes it would be warm and moist, other times it would be dry. It was quite hellish, and I became depressed and suicidal at times and I tried everything. It consumed me and messed up my emotional, spiritual, social, and work life. The scrotum was so sensitive -- it's still sensitive but doesn't itch NEARLY as much.
I did two water fasts -- 19 days and 13 days -- and still the itching was there. At first I thought it was Candida so I became quite strict with diet for a while.
Now, I am following a vegan diet. I am also taking ayurvedic herbs and chinese medicinal herbs along with a homeopathic solution.
These are the things that I believe have helped me the most:
-vegan gluten-free diet -- try to keep sugars and oils and salts as low as possible. Greens are good. Celery is great!
-homeopathic solutions -- I have taken a couple. Please find a qualified, experienced homeopathic doctor either in person or online.
-ayurvedic concoctions -- "Khadirarishta" and "Mahamanjishthadi Kwath (Pravahi)".
-Chinese medicine -- "Long Dan Xie Gan Pian" In the Chinese texts, this is recommended for genital itching.
-acupuncture -- find a good affordable community acupuncture room (easier to find in a bigger city) and go as often as possible.
-"Psoriasis Eczema Rescue Treatment" by Bubba Earth Naturals. Do not dry off after you get out of the shower; apply while still wet.
-Vitamin D -- I was very vitamin D deficient (11 out of 100 -- normal range 30-100). Take Vitamin D and get out in the sun!
Other things that help:
-Chiropractic
-Omega 3s
-Zinc
-hormone balancing w/ supplements
-vitamins (good quality)
-bioscan, biomeridian testing.
I wish everyone the best. Stop the steroids and antibiotics!
