I'm really worried about something going on with my scrotum skin. It's gotten really dry, wrinkled, tight, and it's itching a lot, with a bit of redness too. I've tried using talcum powder and moisturizing cream, which helps for a bit, but then the itching comes back. This has been happening for the past couple of days. Could this be just from sweating, or is there a chance it could be something more serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a case of scrotal dermatitis, which can be caused by various factors including sweating, irritation, or fungal infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using talcum powder as it can sometimes worsen the condition.
