i have always had irritation in my scrotum from time to time since i can remember. I sweat a lot and chaff on my balls. My scrotum is pretty red and looks like it has some small splits in it when you spread the skin. this happens on both sides of the scrotum where it rests against my inner thigh. Is this just really irritated or could it be something worse?

Sounds like a fungal infection. Treat with meds for Jock Itch

This kind of thing happens to me a lot too. especially when it's really hot and everything gets all sweaty. I have tried and often use the jock itch creams but they can be rather painful when applied to the area when its inflamed. You might think this is strange but I like to use desitin or desenex for baby diaper rash. its stops the pain and it works within minutes. Once the inflammation has gone away, use the cream for the jock itch.

Actually the use of baby powder is not all that strange. The key is to get and keep the area dry. Baby powder should help well for that.Fungus thrives in moist areas.

LOL.. You're right. I use that too... I should have mention it. I sprinkle some in my boxers briefs every morning after getting out of the shower.
I use a blow dryer in the morning for my hair and also use it to dry off my armpits and my crotch. It just works for me and only takes another minute or two loner to do.
