Hi, I'm a male and I have this white patch of dry skin in my groin area, where the top of my thighs meet my scrotum. It's almost silver in colour when the skin is stretched there. It doesn't itch but is flaky if I do scratch it, a lot of the skin peels off. I have it on both sides of my groin but it's more prominent on one side than the other. What could this be? I've recently (as of yesterday) been applying E45 to the area but it seems to only provide short term masturbation.

It looks like fungal infection, which is very common in sweaty regions like that. To prevent this, you got to keep this area dry. While taking bath, gently scrub to remove the dead tissue in the region regularly. It is advisable to taken bath regularly. By chance, you cannot have bath, then you can, at least, change you undergarments. Now, you can use anti-fungal creams like candid-b for a week. Use the ointment lightly, both morning and evening. Important thing if that, you should keep your nails trimmed all the times, to prevent spread of the infection. Regards
