Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been working in a very hot and humid climate for about 2 weeks or so, and in the past 4 days, I have experienced small areas of my scrotum that are, well, essentially chaffed raw. Is this something that can indeed happen? And how can I prevent it from happening again?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can apply topical antibioticointments like Mupirocin for faster recovery. Avoid tight fitting innerwears and avoid working in a hot humid condition. If symptoms persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
