This seems a bit unusual......is the chair sitting a bit too much forward ?
perhaps have them sit it an inch or so tilted back, most can be adjusted.
Other than that all I can think of is a Jockstrap as you mentioned or could
they be so dry they are cracking open, may need moisturizing creme of some
kind? good luck, Dan H.***

but now I need help: I've got bad pressure sores on my scrotum/perineum.
I just got a new power chair. I love it. But it seems that the improved
posture it gives me is putting more weight in front. After about a month, my
balls are bleeding (to be frank).
I've added and let air out of the Roho. I've tried tilting back, but that puts
pressure on an old ongoing wound on my lower back/sacrum/coccyx area. My
doctors have ruled out fungus or other infection. It's pressure.
So for now, I'm back in my old chair and spending more time in bed. My
wheelchair tech at National Seating & Mobility has been unhelpful. I have a
message in to a physical therapist for an eval.
But in the meantime, do any of you have any suggestions? Perhaps a hemorrhoid
pillow, but that could cause stability problems. Perhaps some kind of
jockstrap? I don't know, but I'm sure pissed.
Thank you for reading and for any suggestions you have.
