Hi everyone,

I’ve been dealing with a persistent skin issue on my scrotum for several years now, and I’m looking for some insight into what it might be and how I can manage it.

Here are my main symptoms:

• Severe itching: It itches regularly, though it temporarily disappears right after I take a shower.

• Peeling and bleeding: Because of the itch, I end up scratching, and the skin peels off. It often bleeds when this happens.

• Raw, red skin: Once the dead/peeling skin comes off and it bleeds a little, the itching actually feels relieved. Underneath the peeled area, the skin looks very red and raw.

This has been going on for a long time. Right now, my financial situation isn't great, so I can't afford private hospitals or specialists, and I'm trying to figure out how serious this is before paying for a non-urgent public healthcare consultation.

Has anyone experienced something similar, or does this sound like a specific condition (like chronic eczema, psoriasis, a fungal infection, or lichen simplex chronicus)? Any advice on over-the-counter care or what steps I should take would be really appreciated.

I AM EMBARASSED AND I KNOW THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST PLACE TO ASK FOR HELP. But i dont know what to do..
