Is Scrotum Itchiness Means Yeast Infection?

Hi. I am having white spots on my back. I sweat a lot too. And the skin under my scrotum itches a lot but not spreading. Is this a yeast infection altogether? I live in south east asia and very hot and humid. I try to be topless if possible. Can you help?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The season and the temperature has lead to excess of sweating which has lead to your problems.The fungus can grow easily where ever there is a moist and wet area.

The genital are most common site for fungal infection, because it can grow easily in wet and moist area and the skin under the scrotum area more prone for growth of fungus and produces the symptoms of itching.

I would suggest you to follow
1.Keep the area dry and clean
2.Apply antifungal cream over the lesions
3.Oral Antihistamines.
Thank you.
