So, I've been having a bit of an issue. My balls have started itching like crazy, and I'm noticing some dandruff-like white stuff down there. It all started after I used my uncle's machine to trim my hair, and now I'm really worried. What's going on here? Is this something I should be concerned about or do I just need to switch up my grooming routine?
