Does Odour Near Scrotum Area Indicate Fungus Infection?
Good day, I have a slight odour between my scrotum and anus area. I wash twice daily and powder and lotion that area, but after a couple of hours my underwear will be damp and slightly smelly. I seems to sweat a lot in this area especially when just wearing a boxer shorts.I always keep it cleaned shaved and powered but is there something I can use to get rid of this. I have also used an ointment called mediospore, yet the smell still come through. Could this be a fungus?

Hello
Your symptoms may indicate fungal infection.
It is usually due to candida infection.
You may need clinical examination and investigations.
You may need routine hemogram,random blood sugar.
You may need clotrimazole ointment to apply locally.
Try to maintain personal hygiene and don't keep private areas wet.
Get well soon.
Take Care
