I'm really concerned because I was just scratching my balls and out of nowhere I felt this sharp pain. When I checked, I noticed that the skin on my left testicle looked really dry and it seemed like it was cracking or cutting up. This isn't the first time it's happened either, and I just can't figure out why this keeps coming back. Could you help me understand what's going on?

That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I'm 15 and I've been thinking about trying these glutathione 1500mg ivory caps for my skin. But I'm kinda worried about whether it's safe for someone my age. Also, I read somewhere that if you stop taking them, your skin won't go back to its original color. Is that true? Would really appreciate some advice on this.
