Suggest Medication For Pain,swelling & Stickiness On The Scrotum Area
For a week now I have had a weird sticky substance on my scrotum. Sometimes my penis also feels sticky. This doesn't go away when I shower. I don't feel any pain or soreness, and there is no swelling. Its just sticky all the time. Baby powder helps however is not a permanent solution. Please help.

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read facts of your query and reviewed it in context to your query health issues.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.
Based on the facts of your query the reply of your query is-
Hyperhidrosis / or could be Seborrheic Dermatitis.
The Scrotum and private parts in humid area due to enclosed secluded area.
IF the sweating is more -as in hyperhidrosis / or if seborrheic secretions are more - as in seborrheic dermatitis in early stages, things will present as discomfort with pain / stickiness and swelling on scrotal area.
Other causes of -soap eczema with soddening scrotal skin, which gives weird sticky feeling all the time.
Other causes need to be ruled out like .So you have to be careful and need to attend it seriously.
Do's -suggested for your case-
Don't Selfmedicate, as is done now by you- it could complicate your health problem more.

Do keep good hygiene and use Cotton Ugies instead of synthetic ugies.
Do Consult Dermatologist-besides these suggestions,as things depend on your submissions, which could be different than what you observed.
Maintain proper hygiene of private parts and keep it dry as far as possible.
and take Tab-loratidine-to reduce the eczematous effects and for fast the recovery.
Maxitrol(Neomycin/polymyxin B / and dexamethasone)Steroid with antifungal / antifungal skin ointment for 1-2 weeks
and Tab Zincovit 1 x 2 times a day-would resolve the problem.
Blood Tests and timely review with dermatologist would be needed if no recovery with initial treatment given, to rule out other causes of it.
