The testicle can’t peel. Only the skin
of the scrotum, where the testicles are
placed, can peel. Peeling of the scrotum
may indicate a fungal infection. Regular
oils or lotions won’t help if there is a
skin infection.
Your friend may want to visit his primary
health provider and a dermatologist, if
necessary.
