    Question

    I have noticed a thick, yellowish coating on some of my pubic hair around my testicles. It puts off a horrible odor and is very embarrassing. My job is very physically demanding, so I find myself constantly sweating. I take 2-3 showers a day and I've tried several different soaps but nothing seems to work. I've even shaved the pubic hair off on several occasions, but it always comes back. What is this horrible stuff and how do I get rid of it?

    Answer

    I'm sorry but I don't have an answer to your question. I would suggest that you see your physician when the yellow coating is present.
