Help fast! Unbearable itch

I don't know much about your condition, but it could be anything as small as a rash, to anything as nasty as crabs.....Crabs can be obtained much like lice, they're transmitted often times by sexual activity, however they can also be passed by other ways....get this checked out, as you mentioned, you played sports, and there's many opportunities to catch something like that....

My best advice is to see a doctor, and best of luck

itching? spreading? have you had chicken pox before?

any little black spots appearing?

if so you may have shingles which can be treated with drugs and cured if found quickly enough. If not found quick enough it will be cured but in years time may return... again can be treated

I have exactly the same problem as this! I just came on here to find a forum like this where I could ask the same question, and found yours instead. It really is an unbearable itch! I scratch it sometimes until it bleeds, but it still doesn't settle it! My itch tends only to be around the base of the penis though. I really have no idea what it is, but, like you, I am only sexually active with one partner, and we were both virgins before we entered the relationship and still use condoms.
It seems strange that 2 people would have this in the same place. I haven't tried any medication, but I find the only thing i can do if it gets too bad to bear, is to go and have a shower and really wash the area well with soap. That normally results in pain if i have been scratching a lot, but its all i can do, and even that doesn't always work, and having a shower in the middle of, say, a job interview just isn't practical...

Im probably lucky in that the itch only tends to happen first thing in the morning, before i have a shower anyway, but thats not always the case. The itch does start as a very small itch, but as soon as i scratch it, it becomes very irritable. Did the original thread starter find a solution? If not, can anyone shed any new light on this?

Thanks!

p.s. I've had chicken pox before, and i dont have any black spots appearing. Also, my itch has been bothering me for about a year, and hasn't spread anywhere else.

This sounds like eczema. Try using cortisone twice a day. You might need a more potent version to get it under control. The counter stuff is like .05% You can try sarns, shea butter, cetaphil . This is a condition that comes and goes. Most people have to experiment with creams to find the right one. The one thing that makes it worse is washing it with soap. Do not use normal soap use dove natural and only wash the area every other day. The water and soap running down will suffice normally. I get it on the bottom of my scrotum. This feels like a porcupine between your legs.

Its tinea --It can get bad and become an fungal infection ...I have it bad agian--And when i was in Australia there was this stuff called plantolin oldmans weed eczema cream and Chinese herbal eczema pills the only thing that worked for me ---Now im in malaysia and cannot get the cream ..its on my face now ---It started as jock ich then spreads ...And the cream from the pharmacy is not working ...

So i have been scratching my balls alot and then started having lumps? Also got a bump ok my penis just bfore the head that is red and rough ? Wat is it

hy,i have same problem,almost suicidal at times,lack of sleep,continual itching,tried most creams doctor prescribed,to no avail,private treatment very expensive,also do they know,? ive heard of a canadian product called polysporin,has anyone tried this product,or does anyone suggest a cure

Same thing here. Don't know what to do. What type of doctor should I see?

Use Neem leaves. I'm from Bangladesh and this the best Natural Remedy you'll hear bout here.

try boiling it with hot water and apply it to your balls.

I havd something very similar. I get it on the lower left and lower right side of my nut sack. Itches bad to say the least. Gets really wrinkly and red, dry and white heads at the base of the hairs on my sack. the areas that dont itch are normal looking but when both sides are irratated there isnt much room left. What i do is I honestly take a shower and no soap at 1st get the water hot as u can stand and let it blast away while pulling the area tight. It burns and causes it to itch SEVERELY, but keep at it and do this 2 to 3 times a day and i always put Neosporin on it directly after. After a few days it had always gotten better and went away for me. It comes and goes for me maybe once a year but as soon as it starts I attack the issue and it gets better fairly quick. It started for me when i was about 15 and has come and gone since im now 29 and like i said iv always done the same thing and it always works. hope it helps.

^^^ and i have been tested and have no STD'S

i have the exact same symptoms help

I am 18 and i m suffering from this thing from around 3-4 years first it happened in winters but this time it came back in summers.
There's only one solution to this cetrizine that's it.
Nothing else works i have visited many doctors i have taken allopathic homeopathic and ayurvedic treatments nothing works except the cetrizine to avoid that dryness and peeling of the skins you can use coconut oil it won't do any better to ur itching but it will keep the scrotum moistured and never keep that area dry it will make it worse in my condition it did.
Note- no antifungal cream works it just increases ur itch.

Ok guys,

I HAD this for almost a year, but I think I had a minor case of it for almost 5 years total. I finally figured it out two days ago. Your scrotum is really warm/hot and moist and irritated due to an infection. I tried all the stuff, all the creams, antifungals, powders, etc. Only a certain combination of items worked for me. I sit here itch free typing this and its great! I want to help everyone cause I know how badly you can suffer from it. It will ruin your life even make you suicidal. DO NOT GIVE UP! It can be fixed! I'll let you know now I don't eat alot of CARBS and SUGAR so it might be helping. BUY THESE ITEMS:

Tea Tree Shampoo: Wash your pubic hair and scrotum and let set for 5 minutes then rinse. (DAILY)

Aloe Vera Gel: Apply while in shower AFTER Shampoo and let set for a few minutes then rinse (DAILY)

THIS HANDLES THE EXTERNAL PART OF THE INFECTION (I think its a yeast related issue)

Probiotic pills (Acidophilus): Take 1 of these ever day (This eliminates infection inside)

Mens health vitamins: Take  of these every day (I looked for Zinc and Riboflavin in them, I think we need it)

THIS HANDLES THE INFECTION INTERNALLY

You might also want to stop using any SPICY FOODS or Sauce for a while as it supposed to kill our good bacteria in our stomach which is the opposite of using probiotics.

After 2 days of using these items, Let me know your feedback. IT WORKED FOR ME. No more insanity itch. Its such a burden on our lives and life is too short to be dealing with it.  I'll post this on other sites that people are looking for an answer as well.

BEST OF LUCK,
