Hi, I am a 20 year old male and about a month ago went to Cancun. While there, the food really did not agree with me, and I spent much of the time on the toilet. When I came back home, I noticed a red rash on either side of my scrotum going back towards my anus. It also began smelling. I scrub very well in the shower trying to solve the problem, but after I dry off and sit around for a little while, the smell is back. What do you think it is and what would you recomend doing?

Hi there! It sounds like a fungus infection so you could try applying some of the antifungal o-t-c creams or decide to see a dermatologist and figure out what it could be.
I am not sure that it has anything to do with food unless you ate a lot of sweets. Fungus loves sugar as well as heat and moist environment and is likely to develop on places that are not much exposed to air like the scrotal skin.
Fungus can cause redness, itchiness, even dry and flaky skin. Rubbing won’t do you any good. Whenever you wash the area, make sure it dries well, because the moister the area the more fungus. If any of the antifungal over the counter ointments don’t help, you should see a doctor for help.
