Hi.
Thanks for your query.
A small patch of irritation , swelling, redness, dryness on the left side of the scrotum could have been a sort of dematitis of some sort. With the super-added infection of bacterial or fungal origin this might have spread to other area of the scrotum.
I would advise you the following:
Stop the soap strictly.
Consult a Dermatologist.
Do not apply anything till seen by a Dermatologist.
You can apply plain water to clean the area and at the most apply liquid povidone iodine if there are wounds or oozing to avoid secondary infection of the skin.
I find this answer helpful
