Question
I have redness under the balls area between the buttocks.
Answer
This is a common area of irritation. I would suggest a careful shower every day and then powder the area to prevent moisture and irritation. I would also suggest boxer-like underwear rather than jockey shorts.
Of course, without seeing the area, it is impossible to make a diagnosis. If the area continues to be irritated and red, please see a health care provider.
