For the past 5-6 days, I've noticed that the skin on my scrotum (the testicle sack) has become dry and scaly. When I clean it while bathing, a thin, scaly layer comes off. I've never had this problem before, and I always keep good hygiene, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Today, it started itching, and when I gently rubbed it, I felt a burning sensation, kind of like a paper cut. After cleaning it, the skin became red. I've tried applying a few creams like Itch Guard, Dermigo5, and Luliconazole, but nothing seems to be helping. I was a bit shy to see a doctor, so I just got these from the pharmacy. Can you tell me what might be going on and if I should be worried? Also, should I see a dermatologist or a sexologist?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the skin of your scrotum. The burning sensation, dryness, scaliness, and redness are common symptoms of such an infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
