A member asked:

What causes a dry, chapped, itchy scrotum? what can i do to stop the itching and burning as well?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Jock itch: Sounds like you need an over the counter med for jock itch. I find the sprays work best. This is caused by a fungal infection of the skin. If this doesn't work, see your doc. Hope you feel better soon.
