Brief Answer:
Scrotal eczema, take treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Eczema is basically an allergic reaction over the skin which tends to become chronic.
It is a very common skin condition and is also easy to treat.
A simple treatment as advised should help.
Take care to avoid application of any irritants over the area. Do not apply any other cream or oil over it .
Avoid scratching the area as much as possible . Wear cotton undergarments .
Excessive sweating and friction due to clothes are some causes of development of such an eczema over scrotal region but it tends to heal soon.

No, the kind of skin redness you develop is basically transient in nature. It can be attributed to the local increased blood supply or due to rough handling .
Such a skin rednes is not due to any infection.
The redness due to fungal infections is persistent and is associated with pain or itching.
