Seriously, guys, the discussion veered off in that direction? I'm not going into details because it isn't necessary, but I know that these are not the case for me; nothing to do with STDs (hell, I was a virgin til I was 27) or using soap.
To be clear: A large patch of the scrotum becomes dry and leathery, then cracks and peels off in large, thick chunks of skin. Pretty literally molting!
I had this happen to me when I was about 11, and all of the sudden it just happened again when I am 40. I find it very weird that it sounds to happen at about the same age ranges to other guys. It happened rather suddenly both times, lasts for a total of about a week, and then goes away. Because of the ages, I have to wonder if it has anything to do with hormonal shifts; puberty on one end and "male menopause" on the other.
I'm half tempted to talk with a doctor about this, because it sounds like no one has a friggin clue. I just don't want them to identify some previously unknown biological condition, and apply my name to it. ha ha ha ha

I had the same thing. I had a "dawn dish soap"/water fight with a girl. The soapy water dried after a short time and about a day or two later my scrotum was completely leathery. It's peeling now. It definitely gives you a scare at first.

The symptoms of jock itch may come and go, and many cases of jock itch resolve spontaneously without any treatment. Jock itch is primarily seen in the groin, although it may spread to the inner thighs, genitals (including penis, scrotum, labia, and vaginal opening), and anus.
While jock itch is frequently noted in otherwise healthy patients, patients with diabetes and/or obesity are more susceptible. Possible causes of this common groin itch include irritation from tight or abrasive underwear, excess moisture, sweating, skin rubbing or friction, allergic problems, fungal infection, Candida (yeast) infection, and bacterial overgrowth or skin infection.
Treatment of fungal-related jock itch may include one or a combination of antifungal creams and, rarely, antifungal pills. Treatment of jock itch that is not caused by fungus involves proper groin hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and washing frequently with gentle soap and water (especially after sweating or exercise).
Jock itch causes a symmetrical red or pink rash on the sides of the groin folds. There may be a dry, scaly rash or a collection of small, pinpoint red or pink bumps at each hair follicle.

During pubescence I had this problem twice. I asked my friend if he ever had the same problem. He had, and we jokingly called it Golden Week. Just as OP said it might just be a right of passage. All will eventually discover what one can and cannot jerk off with.
Dont jerk off with dish soap.

This is currently happening to me because accidentally let shampoo dry down there (don't ask). My friend said this happened to him around his 20's (similar reasons) and it healed up fine with lotion. It's just dry skin, it might get itch later but it;ll heal up. Get some lotion and apply it.
