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.
