I've been experiencing some really irritating discomfort beneath my scrotum close to the anus, especially when I'm sweating. It feels itchy, and when I scratch, it sometimes gets worse and even starts weeping. I've noticed rashes popping up occasionally, and it creates this awful burning sensation that makes me really uncomfortable. I'm working in an office, and it's pretty embarrassing when I need to scratch under the table. What could be causing this, and how can I find some relief?
