Sometimes my testicles (especially the underside) would become itchy and what i normally do to relive myself is to (surprise!) scratch them, oftentimes to the point of irritation (i.e when the area becomes red and painful to scratch already). My testicles would stop itching by that point and for the next couple of days the area would get healed (i normally scratch them quite hard, remember, so the upper skin would get 'wounded').

Once it gets healed i would notice dark patch of skin over the area and i would normally just peel it off; revealing a 'fresh' skin underneath.

At some point in time, my testicles would become itchy again and the process repeats itself.

Up until now i've thought nothing of this (i'm assuming this is normal among guys), but now i'm becoming paranoid that i might have some sort of infection.

Also, i don't know if this is related, but i've noticed a small pimple-like bump on my inner left thigh, about several inches away from my private area. The area is swollen and is bigger than a typical pimple. It doesn't hurt when i touch it, though, unless i put in extra pressure. The hump is noticibly red, by the way, and the inner portion is a little bit dark.

I'm not sure when the above 'problems' appeared but i think its safe to say i only 'got' them lately (or maybe during a year's time).

I only have one sex partner and i'm sure she's clean. Besides, i think i've had these even before i met her.

I'm fond of wearing boxer-briefs, by the way, sometimes boxer shorts, and on few occassion the typical brief. I don't wear anything but shorts when i go to sleep.

I know going to the doctor is the best advice but I'm hoping someone might point me in the right direction. (umm.. i don't even know what i should call the above symptoms). also, i checked the area again and it just looked really dry.. the itchiness might just be caused by myself (why i scratch them).

PS-> i took pictures of the swollen area in my thigh, if that might help.

Thats a lot for taking the time to read this.

it looks like dry skin to me. I use to use dail soap and just one day randomaly I brok out into a rash. At firts I thought it might be posin ivy. After going to the doctor they sent me to dermatoligist , he told me that my rash was cause by dry skin. He gave me a persucitin and told me that I sould use only dove soap, and next time i break out in a rash I should use budxous butt past, or ceplia lotin< check spelling. So I have followed his instuctions and sure enought the rash went away.
So I whould recomend you getting one of those products

Looks like maybe a spider bite like a minor brown recluse bite.

Hydradenitis Supparativa -- check into it; this may be what you're dealing with.
