Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of sudden sweating around the balls which you did not bother to clean with.
This allowed the saprophytic bacteria to take over, cause infection, dermatitis and may be super-added fungal infection.
Hence the treatment would be to all things together with the help of local application of povidone iodine, oral antibiotic, metronidazole and anti-fungal tablets.
This alone can help to cure the problems.
Avoid hot and humid atmosphere.
Avoid tight pans and underwear.
