Yes, you can get it there. Honestly, dealing with an itchy situation downstairs while you are sitting at a restaurant trying to enjoy some butter chicken is the absolute worst. Cut down on spices temporarily as it can sometimes make you sweat more, and see a skin doctor.
Oh man, I panicked so much when I got dry, red skin there. I thought it was some terrible disease and couldn't sleep for days. It turned out to be just eczema from my body wash. Please don't stress yourself out, just let a doctor look at it.
Bro, don't stress too much about it. Eczema can literally show up on any part of your body where there is skin. Just stop using any harsh soaps or washes down there, wear loose cotton pants, and get a dermatologist to give you a mild cream. You'll be fine.
I went through this exact thing last year and was totally freaked out. But my doctor reassured me that it is quite a common skin issue due to friction or soap irritation. Once I started the prescribed ointment, it cleared up in a few days. Don't worry!

Yes, eczema can affect the penile skin, but it is critical to get it checked by a urologist or dermatologist. Many fungal infections or contact allergies look very similar, and using the wrong cream on such delicate skin can cause complications.
Yes, you can get it there. I tried applying coconut oil and basic powders to soothe it, but the powder made it drier and worse. Learn from my mistake and don't try home remedies on sensitive parts. Let a proper doctor examine it and prescribe a safe lotion.
