It has knocked it down slightly. It seems that I am constantly sweating under my scrotum,I wear only cotton shorts but with the cold coming that wont last much longer. I don't know what to do anymore I have my follow up dermo appt in 2 days after 30 days. I'm also taking lamatrogine for depression?
