For the past couple years, the skin on my balls and inner thighs is always damp and sticky, which makes my skin always tender and prone to road rash whenever I walk for long distances, cause my thighs are always rubbing against each other. I mean, I experience the same thing, to a degree, on my armpits, but my arms are not irritatingly annoying like my crotch is. And no, I'm not fat either. Any advice?

It's fungal.
Usually only happens to women but it can happen to men.
You can get antifungal cream or powder at places like Walgreens.
Maybe for the sweaty areas a powder would be better.
Also check your toes for Athlete's Foot symptoms because it's the same fungus and can spread to different body parts
(For me it was on my hands)

these statements are mutually exclusive

Fungal? Holy shit thanks dude, cause this shit was getting on my fucking nerves
>>
>>35039049
Would applying hand sanitizer also kill the fungus?
>>
>>35038920
It means you don’t take bathe enough. So it’s not something I’d be proud of or post on 4chan. What you need to do is go wash your ass. Weirdo.
>>
>>35038920
If you have this then there’s no way you’re bathing any more than once a week. You gotta literally stop bathing for that to happen.

I agree with the other anon that this sounds fungal. As well as treating it directly, you should get your Fasting Blood Glucose Level checked; if your blood sugar is consistently too high, this makes you prone to fungal infections. Also, make an effort to keep the skin dry and invest in clothing that wicks moisture away from the skin.

Well, the last time I was at the doctor, they did say my cholesterol was a bit high, and I do eat a ton of sugar, all the fucking time, so maybe my blood glucose is high. And they definitely told me my blood pressure is high. Dunno if the fasting blood glucose was standard in the blood tests though. Yeah, cause I'm like constantly wet and moist in my armpits and crotch. Gonna try the fungal cream stuff and cut back on the sugar.

I've also been getting a lot of low grade fevers for the past few months. Probably my body constantly fighting off something. Damn, what the fuck is wrong with me. I hope I'm not slowly dying.

Adding to what the other posters here suggested, the athlete's foot cream can treat that, but also when expecting to be sweaty, apply something like gold bond to keep dry. Do not, DO NOT, use the foot powder on your balls. Use the yellow bottle.
If you're getting chafing from long runs and stuff like that, bodyglide applied beforehand will help as well. If you're talking ruckmarches or long hikes, bodyglide is what a lot of army dudes use.

Someone has been sneaking into your room at night and licking your balls.

it's like a constant dampness on my thigh area producing this constant friction. 24/7.
Have you ever been using a computer at a table, and you glide your hand smoothly across the surface,
but when you get to the mouse pad, there's friction from the rubber slowing your hand down?
THAT is the shit I'm talking about. It's not sweat from running, it's just a constant deep skin dampness that's always there,
like as if you've been under water for 10 fucking hours. The water starts to damage your skin.

The foot / boot powder version is stronger and a lot of our dudes were stupid enough to try it at least once. That stuff is meant to be put into your boots, not on your balls. It burns.

>>35039681
Yeah, that definitely sounds like jock itch. The athlete's foot creams are usually the same active ingredient as the jock itch creams, but in a larger, cheaper bottle. Those are fine to use to treat this. Use those after showering and drying. The powders are a preventative, and as I said already, for the powders do NOT use the foot version on your balls unless you want pain. Also, use a different towel every day, and dry thoroughly. And obviously, I am not a doctor, if you treat it for a few weeks and it doesn't go away go talk to a medical professional.

It's the reason why gyms are supposed to have sanitizer wipes or spray to be used on shared equipment between uses. Places that just use water spray bottles are nasty.

I use the skin safe foot stuff on my balls and they don't burn I have a job where I work around compost and it is essential to preventing this

Why?

>couple years
>hasn't tried a jock itch antifungal cream
Why are you just living with this when you could fix it in two weeks with $10?
>>
>>35038920
That's strange. I have tis but I'm a fatty. Washing regularly helps. As does just wiping the area a bit with your wet hands when you're washing your hands
>>
>>35042487
Cause most dudes growing up in modern feminized society have no father to explain shit like this to them.
