so far, nothing like jock itch or fungal problems...however, it might be a good idea to periodically squirt a little bit of antibiotic (over-the-counter) ointment down there just to keep everything moving along just fine. The only problem I've encountered is that aftr about a week of constant wear, the scrotum is "exfoliated" in the area underneath the stretchers and I'll remove them for 2-3 days in order to let everything get back to normal...during which time I have some flaking of skin and some intense itching. I don't know if the itch is from the fact that new skin is being grown, or if I might have a nickel allergy to the nickel plating on my brass stretchers...in any event, all itch and flaking is completely resolved by the third day, and it is back to the program for another week. My biggest complaint is my scrotum hair, which I have been removing with an Epilady (yanks it out!). I'd love to get that permanent laser hair removal done, but doubt if I could handle the embarrassment, Just keep up with your program and you'll soon be able to wear both stretchers continuously...and hopefully you and me will be shopping for the two-inch model this coming summer! Speaking of which, Mr. S Leather sent me a letter telling me that they are completely redesigning their line of 2-piece stretchers and will have them out sometime soon. Good luck with your program!
