What Causes Severe Sweating And Itching Below The Testicles?
Hi, I m a 25 years old male. I used to sweat a lot ever since I was a kid. Recently the area below my testicles is sweating a lot. At night the sweat accumulates and itches a lot. There is no rash or discolouration on the skin and nor does it emit any bad smell. I have not had any sexual intercourse and I regularly trim down there to prevent sweat and smell. I have been using abzorb clotrimazole dusting powder but the powder is absorbed after a few minutes and does not last long. There is no itching or discomfort when the area is dry. It itches only when sweat accumulates. I have used boxer and briefs to allow air to circulate but sweat accumulates soon enough and it itches. Is my itching problem due to sweat or any other infection? Page 1 of 10
The itching may be due to fungal infection in the region of accumulation of sweat. If the itching is not being resolved with Clotrimazole powder then you may need oral anti-fungal drugs.
