Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Chronically red and inflamed scrotum is a recurrent skin condition and finding out the exact cause helps in the treatment.
I would suggest that you consult a dermatologist to rule out a possible sexually transmitted disease, fungal infection, cysts, dermatitis, etc.

I would suggest the following:
•     Avoid accumulation of sweat in that area.
•     Change underwear daily.
•     Shower regularly.
•     Wear loose cotton clothes.
•     Avoid sun exposure to that area.
•     Eat plenty of fresh fruits and XXXXXXX leafy vegetables.
•     Drink plenty of water.
•     Keep the area clean and dry.
•     Avoid using any irritant substance like soap, shampoo etc.
There is no permanent cure. Prevention is the best treatment.
Topical hydrocortisone ointment helps in bringing the relief in most of the cases. I would suggest that you consult your good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
