its freakin me out and i wanna know whats wrong

i put tea tree oil on it the other day because it help a skin condition that i had a while back and then yesterday i noticed the skin was peeling

and then today i thought it would be a good idea to maybe try something else to make it go away faster even though the whole condition seemed like it was starting to go away. So I put hydrogen peroxide on them and jumped right in the shower to stop the burning.

yeah now their red again and i put miner oil on them so they'd feel better
Yea they itch like hell man and my also peels .

Nah, you probably just have dry skin. A friend of mine had the same thing.

if your skin is peeling and your itching like hell, I am gonna say that you might have Jock Itch.

Be very careful about peelign the skin off, you might open yourself to infectino that way. I had the problem back in highschool from my gym class. Sweating and not bathing is one of the causes of this.

Now if you have not had this problem before, then like I mentioned, Jock Itch might be the problem. You can go to any store around with a first aid section, they normally store this cream/spray you need in the "itching"/hydrocortizone part. DO NOT buy ATHLETES FOOT medication, while the infection is the same , different ingredients are used for the groin area than the feet. Buy medicine specifically for Jock Itch. There are either creams or spray pumps ( recommend the cream and the spray contains alchohol and will burn very badly. )

If this is a problem you've had for a while now on and off, you might want to buy something along the lines of Cortizone creams containing hydrocorizon ( 1% or higher ) if the skin is chaffing in that area.

I've got a similiar thing goin' on. My balls are purple, so dry and little itchy, and it feels like it is frozen. I take a shower everyday and wear clean underwear. I don't know what it is. PLS Help Me.

just keep pealing the skin off

obviously this won't help the OP, but if you were using pure tea tree oil, that's probably the sole reason why the skin on your balls got pissed and peeled off. i just put tea tree oil on because of molluscum, which sucks, and can already feel it burning the skin away.

Thank you for this contribution.

I didn't know that you shouldn't use the athletes foot medication. That's something i would have tried. Once I tried spraying Dr. Sholls foot powder around the scrotum, but found it stung from the propellant. After a few minutes, it was fine.



I would have suggested perhaps trying diaper rash cream, as that has helped me once in a pinch while on the road.



Again, thanks for all your advice.

hi there... i have the same problem for 2 weeks now... my scrotum is as itchy as hell with a burning sensation... it has red leathery bumps (but not totally bumpy).... now it moved up to my penis but not totally all the way up though... i searched the web for about 1 week straight now and i found out that it is known as a jock itch... i'v been using Tinactin for 5 days now but it didn't do any good... it would relieve the itching but it won't go away... until i tried a little test on my own.... use Dove soap in washing that part of yours... after washing, apply an Iodine Solution and let it dry for a couple of minutes.... this would make that part of yours dry and prevent it from being itchy and kills the fungus on your skin... after a few minutes apply Bio Oil.... this would help your skin to regenerate and not to let it dry so much... on my first try i felt the difference.... my groin and scrotum are not being itchy anymore... within just 3 days it was gone and I felt better..... if you are not satisfied go see you doctor....
