Expert in Men's Health Answers: The most common skin diseases in the male scrotal area include eczema, tinea, scabies, and riboflavin deficiency.(1) Scrotal Eczema: The lesions are mostly confined to the scrotal area, sometimes extending to the perineum and skin around the anus, and generally rarely affect the penis. There are typically two types: exudative and dry.
- Exudative type: The skin appears edematous and swollen, accompanied by erosion, exudation, and crusting, with occasional fissures.
- Dry type: The skin is rough, dry, with deep wrinkles, hardened, and hyperpigmented, which may be accompanied by skin atrophy or depigmented patches. The area is intensely itchy, especially during idle times and at night. The course of the disease can last for months or even years.
(2) Scrotal Tinea: This is a fungal infection, often spreading from jock itch, and may involve the perineum, buttocks, and pubic area. The rash has clear borders and is often covered with fine scales. Early symptoms are related to the climate, commonly occurring or worsening in the summer and improving or resolving in winter. If it recurs repeatedly over a long period, the skin may thicken, become hyperpigmented, and develop more pronounced.
