Dry skin & Discomfort in Private area
Hi Doctor, I am experiencing dryness and discomfort on my private area. The skin of the penis and the scrotum have irritation and sometimes gets cracks due to this. The penile glans also turns very dry and causes discomfort. I am quite sure that there is no infection in that area but as I always like to keep the area shaved, it sometimes gives small boils. I have tried oil and moisturizer but it gives only a temporary solution. Kindly help me and advise a good medicine for this issue.

As there are no pictures attached with the complaints, it's difficult to comment on the diagnosis. Proper medical history and examination is required for proper assessment.
