Ive been dealing with some skin irritation around my groin, more specifically underneath my penis and around my testicles for almost 2 years now. At first it wasnt so bad.. it was just a tiny spot underneath my penis that would seemingly get dry and peel off a bit.. it would come and go. Then 6 months ago I was drying myself and I scrubbed my testicles a bit too hard.. it irritated the skin and the seb derm spread all over my testicles.. since then its been much worse. The good news is I have no itching, burning. Its just white flaky skin.. and its especially noticeable after I get out of the shower.. when I get out of the shower its all white and sticky skin.. sometimes during the day it doesnt look real bad.. but when I masturbate the skin peels off .. and at the moment im single but looking to hook up with a girl and this ways on my mind.. its not contagious, its not an STD but still its not pleasent im sure for a girl, so this has a big effect on my sexually/psychologically.. if it were on my arm it wouldnt be a big deal..
Also, the fact that its right under my penis/testicles makes it a little more difficult to treat.. im hesitant to scrub hard or anything, gotta be gentle down there..
Heeellp.. I havent tried a lot of things to get rid of it.. and I believe its a relatively mild case.. but persistent! I tried an ayurvedic ointment that was smelly and yellow and stained my clothes but may have been helping.. other then that ive just tried to keep it dry.. but I need to get rid of this for good.. what can I do? This seemed to start after I had taken some very strong
Antibiotics and had some digestive/stress problems. Thankfully ive improved greatly since then but... I feel like I need to work on my inner body/digestion, but I want a cream or ointment to use on the skin and something to remove the dead skin.. thats really the worst part, if I could just do something once a week or so to remove all the dead skin that would be a major improvement. However, like I said I dont want to scrub a lot or hard down there cuz I gotta be delicate with my unit.. Any tips on how to exfoliate? I feel like I need some gentle exfoliation + anti fungal + soothing.. but im also really not into chemicals and weird
Antibiotics /antifungals I really prefer an all natural approach..
Things I may be doing that make it worse:
Sweating a bit and not washing off
Wearing the same boxers many days in a row
Getting olive oil/other oils on the area
Washing with warm/hot water at times
My diet is pretty clean, I eat mostly organic food, no candy/soda, no bread/pasta..
Help guys/girls!!
