Eczema genital area
Common Questions and Answers about Eczema genital area
eczema
I belive I have eczema in my genital area because I have it also on my chest. I've tried treating it with different types of lotions but lotions seem to make it worse. I tend to scrath the area because of the itchiness which then leads to breaking of the skin at the base of my penis. Never breaking of the skin anywhere else in the genital region, just at the crevase of the lower pubic area at the base of the penis.
I have been diagnosed with atopic skin and easily get small rashes, eczema here and there on myself. The rashes are not serious and go away by their own after a while, except on certain spots. Recently I've noticed that after masturbating a lot I easily get this rash on my genital area, where the hair growth is. I've read that sweating can cause atopic dermatitis and I definately sweat alot while masturbating and also touch the area a lot.
If it is due to eczema, you can apply good quality moisturizers. the most effective treatment plan for eczema involves using a combination of therapies to treat the skin and making lifestyle changes(prevention of triggers and application of lots of moisturizers) to control flare-ups. Doing so tends to increase effectiveness and reduce side effects from medications.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
11 months had what seemed like a reaction to a body wash soap. Initially had itching/burning specifically on my feet and genital area. Since then, the problem seems to come and go. I'll have an episode that lasts for 2-4 weeks and then it completely goes away for a few months. Now again, I'm experiencing the same itch/burn and it seems to have sprung up b/c I used a new scented soap a few weeks back.
s Multiple times and have come out with a clean bill of health and i was told it wasnt herpes and i have never gotten any bump or patches of bumps on my scrotem as a matter a fact my genital area is the only uneffected place on my body Eczema has yet to hit. so why does this coinsides with my Eczema breakout evry year are they related or unrelated? is this even possable that this is dueto my condition?
m itching an area that otherwise looks fine. The worst itch is occuring in my genital area, inner thighs, and recently my knees and shins. the skin is also red not just dotted with the red spots.
i went to a walk in clinic and after looking at my inner thighs was told that it was eczema because i have dry skin. She gave me 2.5% hydrocortizone cream to use on it.
then i though it could be eczema due to the fact that i have had some pretty extensive eczema lately. i have had eczema my whole life. it comes and goes, but as far as i know i have never had it in my genitals, although i have had it on my inner highs and my buttocks. since splitting from my husband my stress level has been very high and my eczema got prettyu bad on my arms, shoulders,back, armpits, and sides... fairly certain it isn't genital herpes due to the fact that it didn't hurt.
Epaderm is a simple emollient which is used for eczema and you can use it after getting the diagnosis confirmed as eczema. Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Allergic reaction can occur to strong soaps, Solvents, chemicals, certain foods, food additives, plants, metals, cosmetics, even urine and faeces of some animals (dust mites).
Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.
The first dermatologist saw the rash like area on my genital area and said I had nothing to worry about it was just eczema. I didn't believe that because I never had eczema in my life. I went to another doctor for a second opinion and he told me the same thing but diagnosed it as a staph infection, prescribed cream that didn't seem to be effective.
When I do scratch they itch even more. They are located on both sides of my groin / vulva area at the same time. They are not in clusters but there is more than one on each side. Wondering if this may be herpes? Or another Std ? Or something else?
Could it be irritation/reaction from the cream? Eczema? Genital Warts? Do genital warts appear that big within that short of a time frame? I have researched everything I could on the internet and saw 20 different skin conditions is looks like. They are not white, or dark, or blistery or pus filled. I have been in a relationship for 5 years. Had protected sex with a girl 4 years ago and then this incident where the only two. Please help.
If your boyfriend is saying that he has genital eczema,then he should consult a dermatologist and start with its treatment comprising mainly of topical and oral steroids and emollients.Eczema is not contagious and it should be properly treated.Moreover it has to be differentiated from other skin conditions which may mimic it.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
Had 2 dosages of antibiotics early this month. Genital started itching so I assumed it's yeast infection.
2 weeks ago, I saw some "flakes" on my vulva and realised that there's 2 distinct patches on my outer vulva. The skin of the patches looks wrinkled and lighter than the other area. There's no additional growth but I sort of had a cut on my vulva late last mth while I was washing up.
Moisturizing is one of the most important self-care treatments for sufferers of eczema. Keeping the affected area moistened can promote skin healing and relief of symptoms.

Originally I had an itch/burn in the pubic area and anus area, there were no signs of redness, I proceeded to use canestan (clotrizamole) on the genital area to see if that would get rid of the problem, i tried it for a 2 weeks but it seemed to enhance the problem, my scrotum developed a red, leathery look and the whole area seemed to itch and burn worse. I stopped using the cream due to this, the problem seemed to get better after a few weeks of Epsom salt baths, reduced sugar intake.
This looks like a boil.Are these lesions painful? A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with pus. Finally, the pus "forms a head," which can be surgically opened or spontaneously drain out through the surface of the skin.
Boil on buttocks is usually due to plugged sweat glands that become infected or by an ingrown hair.
About 2 weeks ago I noticed a single small sore on the shaft of my penis, it looked more like a small nic and had a bit of a scab, it just seem to have appeared as a scab. I never noticed any blister or any other discomfort until I saw it, thought I may have just got the skin caught in my zipper. Every once in a while I put cortisone on it and it seem to start to clear up but then I would pick at it and it would persist.

I came across in the internet about Kaposi varicelliform eruption or eczema herpeticum which affects people with eczema(I know I should not be relying on the internet but it was one of those things I just read unknowingly and made me all worried) . I dont have such a problem and I know it is rare but my father actually works as an allergist and might be exposed to patients with eczema herpeticum when they come to find out about the allergies which is causing their eczema.
I received a massage in which myself and the lady were both nude. There was no genital-to-genital contact but there was hand relief and she did touch my penis frequently throughout the massage. After the massage, I realised that the lady has eczema. She said that this was the reason for the red marks on the inside joints of her arms (ie adjacent to the elbows) and her legs. I started thinking about it after leaving the massage place.
I am uninfected, have a 5 year old and pregnant again. Husband has had HSV-2 for 14 years. He has taken Valtrex for suppression and outbreak treatments during our 7 yr. marriage. We also use condoms consistently. Recently he had direct hand-genital contact (stratching he thought was jock itch), next day had a genital outbreak and about 2-3 days later massive outbreak on both hands and little on his feet.
