Other Possible Causes of Dry Skin
Dry skin around or on the groin is not always an indication of STDs. Other health conditions may also lead to this health issue, such as:
– Jock itch: This is a common fungal infection that may lead to itchiness around the groin and genital area. It would also cause dry rashes with a ring shape.
– Yeast infection: Due to the overgrowth of yeast around the vagina, the skin around the groin may become itchy and dry.
– Psoriasis: This is a skin issue that often affects the arms, head, and genital area. It may lead to itching and dry skin around the creases of the buttocks, upper thighs, vulva, anus, scrotum, and penis.
– Prurigo nodularis: This is a skin condition that lead to itchy, dry rashes and lumps all over the body. It tends to affect those with immunodeficiency diseases or a compromised immune system. [10]
