  5. I've been dealing with a problem Im not sure about. My scrotum skin has gotten dry, wrinkled, tight, and really itchy. There's also a bit of redness. Ive been using talcum powder and moisturizing cream, which helps with the itching for a while, but it comes back after some time. This has been going on for about two days. Could this just be from sweating or is it something more serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of scrotal dermatitis, which can be caused by various factors including sweating, irritation, or fungal infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using talcum powder as it can sometimes worsen the condition.
