Suggest Treatment For Dry Skin Under Testicles Of A Child
This may sound strange, but it is serious and has been affecting my son’s life for probably around 2 weeks now. He is 12 years old an has been dealing with dry skin under his testicle area. It is very itchy and it also burns and will often wake him up in the night. I have come to the conclusion that this is likely due to sweating, but he don’t seem to have a problem over-sweating anywhere else. Please help

Hi....BY WHAT YOU QUOTE I FEEL THAT IT MIGHT BE AN ECZEMA. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help.
But....Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
