Diagnosed With Eczema. How To Get Rid Of White Stuff Building Up On Perineum And Head Of Penis?

I have this white stuff that builds up on my perineum as well as around the head of my penis. I went to the doctor and the diagnosed it as eczema which was weird. Also had a full std check and all was negative. My question is what do I have and how can I get rid of it?

Hi,

I have gone through your query. As you are already diagnosed with Eczema, that white stuff may be flakes due to dryness. Actual cause of Eczema is unknown and steroids are used to treat it.
Local application on ointment containing steroid like clobetasol is used. For itch antihistamines like loratidine can be used.
Avoid drying of the lesion by using moisturizing creams. Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms.
Maintain proper hygiene of the area.
