What Causes Spot On Scrotum After Using A New Body Wash?
I tried a new body wash from old spice that is support to be moisturizing I got it because I have dry skin. After the first time I used it I noticed my scrotum was not the same, a few days went by with me using the same body wash ( only one I had, I was on vacation ) and I woke up to go to the bathroom and What the hell! I noticed that a spot on my scrotum was shiny, flaky, and not stretchy like the rest of my scrotum, the spot didn t move at all on my scrotum, unless I tried to bend my skin to see what the heck I had wrong with me, I m still a virgin so I know it s not an std

Hi,
It is not STD. It may be scrotal dermatitis. It may be due to some allergic reaction to soap or body wash. Apply mild steroid cream. Take a course of oral steroid in tapering dose. Avoid contact with soap or body wash. Take Sitz bath in dettol liquid water. Keep the area dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
