I'm really worried about this fungal infection on the skin around my scrotum. It's been there for a while now, and nothing seems to be helping it go away. I've got some pictures if that helps to explain things better. What do you think could be causing this, and what should I do next? Should I come in for a check-up right away?

In persons with dry or flaky hair/ scalp, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the hair.
