What causes peeling and dry cracking of the scrotum?

The causes of scrotal peeling and dryness may be multiple, mainly including: 1. Vitamin B2 deficiency: Long-term unbalanced diet leading to a deficiency of vitamin B2 in the body may cause inflammation of the scrotal skin, which can subsequently result in peeling and dryness. 2. Scrotal infection: When there is a bacterial or fungal infection in the scrotal area, inflammatory factors may cause dryness, cracking, and peeling of the scrotal skin. 3. Scrotal eczema: In the early stages, scrotal eczema presents as red papules and intense itching. As the condition progresses, the scrotal skin may gradually become dry, thickened, and start to peel. 4. Scrotal dermatitis: Internal and external factors such as psychological stress, endocrine disorders, and local irritation can lead to scrotal skin infection, which may also cause peeling and dryness of the scrotum. If these symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
