Suggest Medication For Itching And Odour In Scrotum Area

Hi, I have itching in the scrotum area and notice an odor. I do work out at the gym a few times per week and notice when I sweat it is itchy. Does this sound like jock itch? I tried jock itch spray and it went away only to return. My wife had a yeast infection as well.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
Sweating in the scrotal area is just like sweating in other skin surfaces.It remains moist , because of the inner wear.You just need to keep it dry after a bath. But, at no time ,try to spray anything without a doctors' prescription.
It can have side-effects, which will affect the scrotal skin.
If your wife has developed a yeast infection, avoid sex till the infection clears and she has had a check-up.
