I've had that problem myself man this usually occurs due to poor ventilation or sweating which causes a small fungal infection in the groin regions, its really common but it creep you out
There's a way to heal this follow these steps regularly each day
-Properly wash you groin
-Dry pat you groin skin completely before putting underpants
-Try to wear pure cotton loose wear pants
- Use this dermatological product its a magic :D use either any of them they both do the same job , its a cream called Cosovate
or better get the cream called Diprovate
make sure now to put it one before having oral sex cause it will taste horrible xD
Hope it helps :)
Hello, I have had the same problem twice now. And yes, it is horrible especially at night, I find it very difficult to sleep etc. The first time I had it, I thought it was a normal itch that would go away after and hour or so... but then my scrotum became red, and I had cuts from scratching, which was obviously very painful. I tried putting cream on; but it didn't work. Then I tried another thing. I was told mixing Olive leaf extract, and Olive oil together (a certain about of each of them.) would help. It stung a little at the beginning, but them after a week or so it was completely gone! Now, roughly 4 months later I have it again. I am trying the same thing again, and hope it will heal. I hope your pain and itchiness goes away.
Hi everyone
I've been monitoring this thread closely and now feel like its time for to share my story.
In June 2014, I noticed an awful smell coming from my inner thighs a lot of moisture in my underwear, much more than just usual sweat with itchy and flaky skin. I googled these symptoms and the first thing to come up was jock itch. I took myself to the GP and he concurred with google, went on to prescribe some daktacort which I applied promptly to my inner thighs. Suffice to say the infection went away after a few days but then a few more days later I began to feel an itch on my scrotum. Without consulting the GP I went and applied the daktakort to my scrotum believing the jock itch infection had spread to this area. I now regret making this decision as ever since, I have been dealing with a bright red and itchy scrotum. In Sept 2014 I was then prescribed a weeks course of miconazole which did not make any difference.
Come March 2015 and I was prescribed ketoconazole shampoo which I have been using 1-2 times a day in the shower. Still no difference.
What am I dealing with here? My balls itch like hell, the hair folicles are more visble on the testes and there is a distinct border around the region where the inner thigh/groin stops and the scrotum begins.
Most recently I was prescribed 2 weeks course of doxycycline having asked the GP about this drug, after reading that it has been successful in the treatment of red scrotum syndrome for others. I am yet to start taking these as I am concerned they might wreak havoc on my stomach so I am just trying to clean my diet up a bit before I start taking it.
PS. I am a 26 year old male, I'm not that stressed and I've never had any major medical issues/trauma.
