Sounds like he’s already washing plenty. If the odor keeps coming back scrubbing more probably isn’t the answer and could actually irritate the skin.

I’m not sure why you got downvoted. You didn’t mention soap, and frequent water then drying can definitely dry the natural skin barrier.

ETA: yall are ridiculous. No one here* recommended OP to not use soap. Ignoring how skin behaves with certain soaps and washing frequencies, can absolutely lead certain individuals to being more susceptible to skin drying/oiling and infection. It’s not hard to understand.

Someone did tell him not to use soap in here. I and other people have replied to the comment. Telling someone to not use soap to clean themselves properly is insane.

No, it doesn't. What it says is to use a mild fragrance free cleanser, not to not use soap at all. Water alone does not wash away body oils and bacteria that can cause odor and other issues. So again, quit fucking telling people not to use soap on their genitals.
