Is Antiperspirant Safe To Use On Scrotal Area?
Question: embarrassing. something wrong with me? routine: shampoo, brush teeth, and soap up body, then rinse, blow out nose, all under COLD shower. stay under for a while, about five minutes, from top of head down back and front. enjoy it. then shave with cold water and dry off outside on patio (with privacy fence, usually early morning and late evening--dark) with SCRATCHY towel, firmly enough to redden skin a little bit--exfoliates--skin feels soft and smooth after. then SLAP on after shave to face, underarms, and scrotum (hard enough to hurt--and I like the feeling). can this do any long-term damage to testes? also use antiperspirant on scrotal area as well as axillary; works much better than powder at preventing male itch throughout the day. any of this potentially harmful?
Brief Answer:
Don't use after shave on scrotum or axilla
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I am Dr. Kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have understood it.
All of this is perfectly fine except putting aftershave on scrotum and axilla which is too harsh for these areas and can cause irritation and discomfort in skin. Though there is no potential harm to testicles from using an aftershave on scrotum.
Regards
