Suggest Treatment For Irritated Skin Of Scrotum
hell I recently went to my dermatologist to cure some warts on my scrotum. However my scrotum is now really dry and my skin feels irritated. I think that what the doctor put on the warts irritated my skin. What can I do to reduce the irritation and stop my scrotum from being so dry. There is some burning as well

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
In short: Any alcohol bases/strong solution can cause irritation to scrotum as the skin is very sensitive there
Explanation: As I told to you that, any strong solution of chemical can cause irritation of scrotal skin as it is very sensitive. So, if you are cured with your wart with complete healing of wound. Just stopping any dressing chemical can relieve your problem. Or else you can wash it with gentle warm water and apply vaseline/coconut oil over there.
Usually sebaceous secretion over there keeps area moist and avoids crusting. Sometimes over washing can cause dryness due to washing away of sebaceous secretion from body especially in winters.
You may consult your doctor for examination and further solution to your problem. Good luck
