Cleaning my scrotum? Is this safe?!
Question: In addition to taking a shower, I clean my scrotum with rubbing alcohol everyday. I feel much cleaner and my scrotum never itches. But I heard that Alcohol is not good for the skin, is this true?

It can dry out the skin.
If you feel the need to clean you scrotum more often than showering, I recommend a good trim [less hair = cleaner feeling] and baby wipes.
Using alcohol will eventually dry out the skin in that area and what you will end up with is itching balls. Just use a good soap and that is all you really need to keep the scrotum clean.
alcohol with dry and possibly bleach the skin
No
just use regular soap. Alcohol is overkill.
alcohol will dry the skin until it starts to form tiny little tears, much like paper cuts. Soap and water is just fine.
At least youll never get crabs!
Using rubbing alcohol everyday on your skin will dry it out. And I dont think you should use rubbing alcohol on your skin to clean it [well at least not on your scrotum] Just use soap while in the shower.
OUCH!
