A member asked:

My scrotum is usually sticky and sweaty at most times and i have noticed a white/grey area on it, where it seems to be very itchy. is yeast infection?

Yes: That is the most likely answer. There are over the counter antifungal medications available, but I would recommend having your physician look at it to confirm the diagnosis. Fungal infections can be hard to cure if the area is constantly moist. Make sure to wear underwear and clothing that allows moisture to escape and dry. Baby powder can also help keep the area dry. Good luck.

Here are some ...: Being sweaty & sticky in the sac is personally unique in how the way you're born with. But, the presence of a whit/grey area with intractable itch may suggests the occurrence of scrotal psoriasis, which may occur there alone or in other parts of body like buttocks, elbows, or knees, etc. If still in doubt, see & ask urologist or dermatologist timely. So, it may not be yeast infection if topical Rx
