What causes scrotal moisture?

Scrotal moisture may be caused by various factors, including but not limited to the following: 1. Physiological sweating: The scrotal skin is thin and rich in sweat glands. Particularly in hot weather or after exercise, natural perspiration can lead to a feeling of dampness. 2. Fungal infection: Conditions such as jock itch or scrotal tinea, caused by fungi (e.g., Candida), are skin disorders often accompanied by itching and skin swelling, leading to increased secretions. 3. Bacterial infection: Such as folliculitis or sebaceous gland inflammation, bacterial infections can cause local inflammation, resulting in secretions and dampness. 4. Non-breathable clothing: Tight pants or synthetic underwear do not absorb moisture well, hinder air circulation, and increase the risk of dampness. 5. Prostate problems: Certain prostate conditions may cause urine residue, leading to local dampness. 6. Hormonal imbalance: Excessive androgens or testicular dysfunction may lead to increased sweat gland secretion. Note that if accompanied by pain, itching, rash, or other symptoms, prompt medical attention is advised.
