Scrotal flaking may be caused by a deficiency of vitamin B2, fungal infection of the scrotum, or eczema. A lack of vitamin B2 can lead to inflammation of the scrotum, resulting in peeling and flaking, which typically improves with vitamin B2 supplementation. If the cause is a fungal infection, localized flaking and peeling also occur, often accompanied by blisters or pustules. Eczema can produce similar symptoms as well.
