What Can Cause White Powder Near Groin Turning Skin Into Black?
My son was 13 years old and I notice that he always scratch the part of his groin . When I take a look at it , I see white skin then when you continue to rub it white skin falls like a powder . Then after a week it continue to spread down to scrotum . Then a month after I first notice it, it became into a black scar . Then now it comes back again . Any idea what is it and how to cure it :)
This is natural with everyone. Scratches are due to dryness and itching of dry area. When they scratch, the skin gets irritated and sheds. Further new skin is formed and it seems dark because of pigmentation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
