Itching at the base of penis
1. I've got itching at the base of my penis, there are no rashes or ulcers.
2. I've got dry skin on my inner thigh near the groin area and it hurts while walking. I'm using Absorb powder but not getting much of a relief.
3. Kindly suggest a way of removing the hair on the scrotum I trim but it gets itching after a few days.
Thank you!

Itching at the base of the penis is commonly due to fungal infection, sweating, poor hygiene, or friction. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton undergarments, and avoid tight clothing. You may gently wash with mild soap and keep the area dry. Avoid applying steroid creams without advice. If redness, white patches, or persistent itching continue, proper examination is important. You may online consultation or visit our clinic for accurate diagnosis and suitable treatment.
