Skin On Scrotum Hanging Lower And Getting Pinched Between Legs. Any Suggestions?

I have noticed the skin on my scrotum is hanging lower and gets pinched between my legs when I walk. I try to walk 3 miles a day but it's getting more difficult because of the irritation. I'm not in particularly good shape and am overweight so know that is part of the problem. I've tried wearing compression briefs but they don't hold everything in place sufficiently. I'm trying to find a good jockstrap but am honestly having trouble finding one. Any suggestions for stopping the irritation on the bottom of my scrotum?

Hello Friend ..
Thanks for using Healthcare Magic

I read your concern and is nothing to be worried as it is preventable one ..
I would suggest you to wear a comfortable briefs as it prevent scrotal skin getting irritated during exercise .
Also keep the skin dry and healthy as moist skin can make skin to peel and can cause infection in particular region .
Apply powder in site of contact (scrotum and thigh ) before exercise and cleanse it after completing your exercise.
Apply clotrimazole powder if skin is moist and inflammed.

Hope this information is useful, please feel free to ask if you have any queries.
Regards
Dr.J.Kingson John David
