I've been dealing with this dry, flaky skin on my scrotum for a couple of months now, and it's really itchy. I had unprotected sex in the past three months, and I'm starting to get worried. Could these be connected? What should I do about it?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and avoiding scratching will help with the itching and flakiness.
