Doctor's answer:

Contact dermatitis may occur in a small number of men with sensitive skin who wear underwear made of synthetic fiber materials. Due to the tight fit around the groin area and the ease of getting sweaty, redness, papules, and other dermatitis reactions may appear on the skin in contact with the underwear, causing itching. Some men who use condoms may also develop penile contact dermatitis due to an allergy to rubber. In such cases, it is important to immediately stop using the allergenic items.
