A member asked:

My scrotum is sweaty and smelly.i wash it and keep it clean.i use powder but after sometime smell come back.i want parmanent solution.any idea?

Baby powder: Use baby powder after showering on your scrotum. It will prevent chaffing and absorb moisture. If you are in environments which cause you to sweat all the time then you are just going to sweat but baby powder can help absorb some of the moisture.
