Skin peeling off testicles?

[moxsum]

So I put some oil on my dick/testicles a few weeks ago.. then I showered and scrubbed my balls dry with a towel.. i noticed after a few days they seemed to get really dry.. this got worse and now my the top layer of skin on the scrotum dried up and is peeling off, leaving a sort of shiny, leathery, red new skin underneath. Is this anything to be concerned about?

Ive had s imilar type of rash thing on the bottom of my shaft on and off for a few months.. I got it looked at by dermatologist and she didnt think it was an STD or anything just irritation/dry skin..

Anyone else experienced peeling dry skin on the balls or shaft? Any cures? Ive been rubbing olive oil into it.. seems to maybe be helping a bit.. Just wanna soothe the skin and get rid of any irritation down there.. not too attractive and I certainly dont want it to turn into some kind of infection.

Stop scrubbing. Just like a teenager who scrubs their face will probably get more acne. Your skin has a nice balance of moisture that should not be removed - added to is alright.

I would apply a quality hypo-allergenic moisturizing lotion 5 minutes after bathing. Also, when you dry off, blot your package dry. Do NOT, as you put it, "scrub your balls dry with a towel." Why did you do that, anyway?

hey.. yea thats kind of what im doing now.. just blotting dry.. put some vitamin E oil.. and olive oil.. looking a bit better but the skin is still kinda shiny/odd looking..

Long story short, I had some oil on my dick and it got all over my balls and I tried to scrub it off... bad idea.. never had my ball skin peel off like that before..

Ouch, Sounds like new skin growing in, pink and shiny, treat it gentle and it will look more normal after awhile. I do have to wonder about your soap it maybe to harsh for your tender parts. It can be a little tricky to rinse well down there in the shower, but take the time to make sure you get the soap off. Just for the record, I've heard that a cheese grater works great for removing unwanted skin. Haha

I had this ages ago mate, freaked me out but its nothing to worry much about. I couldn't work out what caused it- the only factors i could think of at the time were i had just shaved with a razor and i used walnut oil instead of olive oil to jelq a few times. I wonder if those two things along with the act of jelqing caused it i'm not sure.

It was incredibly itchy for a couple of days and drove me mad but as the guys say- its just shiny because its new skin, it will be fine in a few days. I've never experienced it again since.
