What Causes Red Itchy Patches On Scrotum?
Hi, I have 2 red very itchy patches on my scrotum which sometimes ooze. The skin on these patches looks to be irritated/inflamed. The scrotum is really itchy throughout the day. I have never had sex. Also I shaved that area 2 weeks ago and this problem seems to have flared up since then. I don t know if it s related . Please help.

Hi.
The most probable reason for such 2 red, itchy and oozy patches on the scrotal skin are sue to fungal infection with super-added bacterial infection or Seborrhoic dermatitis.
Consult a Dermatologist as the diagnosis depend upon the actual visualization in skin problems. Please stop self treatment, it does not help in any of the patients as it is irrational, without any diagnosis.
