Peeling testicles

We noticed today that the skin on Winston's testicles is turning black and peeling off, leaving raw areas. He doesn't pay any attention to it but when I put Neosporin on it he whimpers like it burns as I know to does on raw skin.

We're on a trip and can't visit our vet but may have to hit an out of town vet.

Nothing has changed in his diet, hasn't been bathed in over a week, etc

Poor Winston! Glad that he hasn't been bothered with it. Maybe a contact problem? You mentioned that you are on a trip, in the motor home? Any recent chemical cleaning, soil repellants, carpet cleaning in areas where he rests?

Hope you can find a solution soon. Poor baby :hearts:
That occasionally happens - it did with our 1st OES Oliver, and to Chewie now a few times.
I just wash with warm water, pat dry and put a gentle cream on. Something not perfumed, so it won't sting. Even some vaseline would do in a pinch, seeing you are traveling.

I would guess as mentioned, that it might be some "new" carpet, etc stuff. Or it might be that he is a tad nervous and licked them more than usual.

My guys have this in cold weather....but I'm pretty sure that's not your issue ;)
Ouch!! Poor boy... that has to be uncomfortable. Hope that cream helps!
I've seen this happen also, gold bond medicated powder seemed to help.
Our vet recommended Hexa-Caine spray. Easier to apply and seems to soothe immediately and discourages chewing the affected site. We bought it from the vet but it's also available on line at Amazon.
If the neosporin is causing him pain, how about plain vaseline? Gold bond powder will burn alot...Bactricin cream might be okay. But vaseline should not hurt and should be soothing...
The Neosporin isn't doing anything. We are far from home but will try to find at least one of the remedies suggested here. I know I can find Vaseline!
Gold bond didn't seem to bother Willy at all when he went through this, if anything he seemed to find it soothing.
