What Causes Itchiness In The Scrotum And Groin Area?

I had itchy scrotum and groin. After two to three days, I got pimple like bumps and there were some small white pimples which did not cause any pain. But that area smells bad and in some places it is sticky. and the places where the pimples were present is peeling off and that region also sticks .

Hello,
From your description, it seems that you are having multiple sebaceous cysts on scrotum.
Many males are having this. Because of that you are having itch.
It wont require any treatment until it covers the most part of scrotum or it gets infected badly.
Surgery is the only treatment option available for it. Some males are undergoing surgery for cosmetic reason.
To get rid of itch, you can maintain good hygiene at private parts, take bath regularly and make the area dry.
Hope this helps you.
Thank you.
