What Causes Itching On The Testicle?

Hi I am a 26 year old male 6'3 230 lbs and I have had some itching problem mainly around my jock. I have had itching and when I am normally up and doing something I dont seem to have much itching at all but when I want to lay down and take an easy I seem to itch more. On my sack I have red bumps or lumps dont know what to call them but they keep popping up and have a tingle to them and can itch and I have to rub them to get relief. I dont know what they are but I was wandering if you had any clue to what they could be. The isnt any discomfort but just have some irritation in my sack and a itch that wont go away.

Hi,

It may be scrotal dermatitis most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper diagnosis. The disease may be due to some irritants like perspiration, soap, detergents, clothes, deodorant etc.

I would recommend you to take antihistaminics like cetirizine. Apply mild steroid cream. If needed, a short course of antibiotic may be taken. Do not apply soap while bathing. Keep the area dry. Wear cotton clothes. Avoid worries and stress. Mental upsets might exacerbate the disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
