What Causes Dry Patch Of Skin And Boils On Scrotum?

I have a dry patch of skin on my scrotum. At times it's so itchy that I scratch until it bleeds. I have used cortizone cream on it and that seem to help. But now there is a small boil there that has occurred twice. I attribute it to the time of year and the very dry skin.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dear you may be developed tinea cruris with secondary bacterial infection. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Take soft diet, avoid allergen causing itching, avoid moisturizing cream or lotions that irritate the skin. Use oral antibiotics and antifungal agents. You may use Candid B lotion locally. If symptoms not improved please consult your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
