    Dry and flaky scrotum may be due to dry skin, and it may also be due to scrotal eczema and vitamin B2 deficiency.

    1. Dry skin

    If the weather is relatively dry or the scrotum is cleaned too frequently for a long time in life, it may cause a large amount of water loss, which may easily cause dryness and peeling. Generally, it will not cause pain and does not require special treatment.

    2. Scrotal eczema

    The scrotum is generally a relatively hidden part. If it is not cared for properly in daily life, it may be infected by bacteria or viruses, and it is prone to eczema. There may be local blisters, itching, erosion and peeling. You need to apply erythromycin ointment, which has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects and can make the condition recover quickly.

    3. Lack of vitamin B2

    Vitamin B2 plays an important metabolic role in the body and can effectively maintain the normal growth and development of the skin. If vitamin B2 is deficient, it may cause dryness and peeling of the skin, as well as oral diseases and skin cracks. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral vitamin B2 can be taken for conditioning.

    Pay attention to nutritional care measures, choose some loose underwear with good breathability, change underwear every day, and expose underwear to the sun, which can have a sterilizing effect.
