Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX and thanks for your query.
It looks like you have developed allergy to one of the components most probably alcohol.
Certain areas of the body are very sensitive esp the scrotal skin. It is very sensitive to alcohol, iodine etc.
Things that would help are
1. Of course, to stop using the implicated spray.
2. Liquid paraffin meant for skin use.
3. If you don’t get the above, coconut oil can be applied to that area.
Please use one of the above twice a day for about a week. Kindly use cotton undergarments and leave it open at nights.
If there is a skin breach, it is wise to get medical advice.
Hope this helps.
Regards
DR GS
