infecting my scrotum? After returning from a vacation in Nice, France, I seem to have jock itch. I swam in the Mediterranean Sea every day while I was there for two weeks. I didn't have jock itch then. After a few days back in the US, I now have jock itch. I've tried everything, but I can't seem to get rid of it. Currently, I'm using Derman antifungal cream, as it seems to be the only one that helps a little. I've tried Desenex with 2% Miconazole Nitrate, and that doesn't work either. Could it be a bacterial infection?

Something is definitely eating me, as I often find fine pieces of dead skin in my underwear. My scrotum is bright red, and I'm not sure what to do. I usually wash it once a day, but sometimes (especially during the summer) I don't take a shower everyday.

It's like my skin sheds and peels off as if I had dandruff, only it happens down there.

I'm 18, I wear briefs, and I live in Colorado (high altitude). What's wrong here? I had a problem like this once before, and I saw a dermatologist who referred me to several creams. Nothing worked, and I lost faith in the medical system. They didn't seem to care that I had some form of jock itch. Since then, I've just been using medicated baby powder after every shower, and it was working great! But after my French trip, it's definitely something else, as my skin is being eaten.

What should I do or what should I try?
 
I had the ame thing happen to me and I was recommended the same powders with the same ingredients and to some degree it worked for a bit on and off... If u can't get to a doctor which I highly recommend since u took a vacation in a foreign land, go to a county health clinic which r free and private since u r 18 yrs old.... I too was always wet, hot, moist and itchy for a LONG time.... believe it or not... true story my doctor recommended an anti depressant (Zoloft) because he said it was do to stress. I know it sounds weird and off base but I have been taking the lowest dose 50mg and haven't had to itch down there in years.... go figure.... Anti depressants have many different uses and they r not just 4 depression. My I suggest u do a Google search and see if u can find any info on ur symptoms but the above works wonders for me because I would just scratch & scratch & scratch all day long just me, myself and my red balls.....
