Yes, it's possible to get eczema on your private parts. Eczema can occur anywhere on the body, including the genital area. The skin in this region is sensitive and can be affected by various factors such as irritants, allergens, and friction, leading to eczema symptoms like itching, redness, inflammation, and rash.

No, eczema on your penis is not contagious, meaning it cannot spread through sexual intercourse or by touching someone with your penis. However, scratching eczema on your penis can break the skin, leading to infections. These infections can potentially spread to your partner through skin-to-skin contact during unprotected sex. It's advisable to either abstain from sex or use condoms until you've completed your treatment.

If you notice a pattern between your diet and eczema symptoms, you may consider adjusting your intake, but it's best to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
