My husband was scratching his scrotum and then started kind of pinching them to stop the itch and then where he was pinching it started burning. The next morning he had a small knot there. He's out of town so I can't tell you what it looks like but he says it's too sore to scratch. Could he have just ruptured a capillary or blood vessel?????? I know varicose veins burn when they bust.

It would take a Dr. examining him to know what he has. But from the sounds of it, its most likely in the scrotum skin only instead of in his testicles or spermatic cords. Skin heals up pretty fast and easy most of the time. I don't know why men's and boys' scrotums itch so much and so often but they do. Mine started to itch a lot about the time they began to make sperm for the first time in my boyhood and they have kept itching since then. I've alwasy thought making sperm inside must itch for all men and boys lol. All those active tadpoles of sperm swimming around 24/7 inside our sacks, balls, and cords, and itching us guys. lol. The first thing most males do in the morning waking up is to scratch our balls and stretch out our cocks and balls after sleeping. Just a normal guy thing. A man just has to be reasonable and not do damage to his balls when they itch. If it causes him pain insdie his balls or in his spermatic cords that his testicles hang from inside his scrotum, he should see a Dr. right away. If he can pull the skin of his scrotum around and feel that the injury is just in the scrotum skin and not deep inside his sack or balls or cords, then he can wait longer for it to heal up before he needs to see a Dr. about it. If it turns really red, swollen, discolored, open up, has puss, or discharges any fluids or lots of pain, then see a dr. right away.

A bit late of a reply, the scrotum itching is usually due to a light irritation caused by sweat and the growing of hair on the scrotum's surface. I've had it a few times and unfortunately it results in it swelling some of which are as easy as showering or bathing in cool water and applying aloe or aloe lotion to the affected area. You may be advised to not wear clothing while it's healing cause it could cause it to swell again due to heat and pressure. Aloe and lotions are better to apply than powders because while powders are effective, they can cause irritation more due to them absorbing the natural oils your skin produces to hydrate itself and cause the skin to dry excessively. My suggestion, take a cold shower and apply some lotion to it and wear really loose clothing or a robe if you have one to avoid causing pressure to the area. I also say this late in case someone else happens to find this and needs a bit of advice. But if it continues to worsen within a few days to a week seek immediate attention from a medical professional, even if you think it's awkward it's necessary to do so. It's always wise to take care of yourself, and if you notice excessive itching starts there start by taking a cool shower/bath and then see what you need to do from there if the itching persists.
