Exam!: You may have the Red scrotum syndrome (RSS) which is a chronic condition characterized by persistent scrotal erythema that is associated with itching and/or a burning sensation & hyperalgesia. Wear loose-fitting, cool underwear, stop using irritants such as soap & other topical applications, stop topical corticosteroid creams & start an emollient cream. And get a medical exam as soon as possible!
