What Causes Persistent Itching At The Base Of Scrotum With Redness?

I've been experiencing a persistant itch from the base of my scrotum to my anus. The itching is accompanied by redness( unsure whether this is a symptom or result of rubbing) and a moist clearish discharge from the area. The issue has persisted some time regardless of clenliness etc

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some local skin infection like dermatitis or fungal infection on the part.
This can be due to having more perspiration, less airy part and moist local part.
Clean local part daily while taking shower.
Apply triple action cream.
Wear cotton inner wears and avoid inner wear during night.
Ok and take care.
