Excessive sweating in groin area (Male, 20)

I’d probably consult with a dermatologist. I’ve read about excessive sweating before, though I’ve never experienced it. A dermatologist can properly evaluate what’s going on and offer you options. In the meantime, I might ask your primary about the itching. When body parts stay moist, it creates a good environment for things like yeast. Maybe, they can treat your itching.

Thanks for the advice. I don't have a primary doctor, as it's not a common thing to have one in my country, but I do plan on visiting the polyclinic soon for something.
However, I'll be leaving to study abroad in about a month, so I won't be able to start a long-term consultation with a dermatologist.. I'll still try and get a one-time consultation though.

There are some self help remedies before you may see
the dermatologist. Over the counter 1% hydrocortisone cream is safe short term for itchiness.
A blow dryer on the unheated setting after your shower
for comfortable thoroughly drying the area. No hot showers.
Try mild soap like Dove or there are zinc pyrithione bars and washes.
Zeasorb AF powder is gentle and helpful if yeast or fungus is developing. Caldesene zinc powder is another choice.
Loose fitting wicking non cotton underwear of course.
Keep your room cool at night with light sheets and
optional shorts for sleep.

Is the dampness from perspiration or from urine? Do you know whether you dribble or not after you pee? You might consider using female panty liners which are more absorbable than underwear. You might also evaluate your activity level during the day to try and determine if this is due to exertion or normal activity. And whether it’s urine or not.

Thanks for the tips, but I've tried most of these. My soap has always been Dove, I always wear loose-fitting clothes as I do have pretty sensitive skin, my room is almost always cool, a blow dryer helps for a while but a couple of hours later it's back to being damp. I'll check out some 1% hydrocortisone cream though.

While I'm not sure if it's perspiration, I do know for a fact that it's not urine. The problem persists even between a shower and me urinating, and I've never had any dribble problems before.
Exertion does make it worse, but I'm not sure how much is natural sweat and how much is the problem. I do have a dermatologist appointment in 4 days as of writing this comment though, so I'll be able to get a professional's consultation. Thanks for the advice nonetheless.

Please post what you discover. I have seen documentaries about a condition where the sweat glands are over active. Often, people have it on their hands and underarms.

And, they can test to check for yeast, if the excess moisture has caused a yeast infection. If that’s the case they can advise the right antifungal med.

I hope they can sort it out before your trip.

How does one determine whether they are producing more perspiration in a particular body area than someone else? What are you comparing yourself to to make you feel you’re producing too much perspiration in your groin area? I’m a retired male nurse and I cannot tell you the number of people I’ve cared for over 30 years of hands on nursing. Every body is different and some people produce more fluids than others in many different ways. Get yourself a physical exam with routine blood work and if nothing shows up live your life and be who you are.

@tbuthrowaway, i'm a diabetic. and diabetes will make you sweat profusely. and cause UTIs, yeast infections. strangely enough i sweat profusely on my right side. head to foot. i sweat on my left side but NOWHERE CLOSE AS THE RIGHT. but i sweat a lot in the groin area. causing a sweat rash under the testicles. and along the underside of the penis. so i use Betamethasone Dipropionate ointment, USP 0.05%. but that's by prescription only. let us know what you find out. good luck. danny5
