I used to wear briefs, but I developed prickly heat in the crutch while abroad which turned into a persistent rash. I went to the doctors complaining of an itchy scrotum and he said, ‘Well it’s one of two things? It’s either a condition known as “itchy scrotum,” which is almost incurable, or it’s a fungal rash?’ I’m glad to say it was the fungal rash and the remedy was to sack the underwear and, as it was summer, wear shots to allow as much air as possible to circulate. I also had an ointment prescribed, but by the time the rash cleared up I’d grown so used to not being encumbered that I’ve remained commando ever since. |
