What Causes Red Peeling Skin On Scrotum?
Hello. Basically, I have red, peeling skin on my scrotum. It s very itchy, and it even splits and bleeds sometimes. After looking around online, I ve read a lot of people having similar conditions as this, but I m unsure what it is/what s causing it.

Hi
You seem to be developing scrotal dermatitis.
This is basically an inflammatory condition of the scrotum which can occur due to various reasons like infections or inflammatory conditions.
The most common cause of such a presentation can be due to fungal infection like candida.
Apply a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole over the affected area twice daily.
You might need a course of oral antifungal agents in case the problem persists.
