Intensely itchy and persistent rash on scrotum

Hi,

After suffering from this on/off for the past 3 years I think I found a real cure. Please read the notes as well as it may help those of you who can't seem to find a working solution. I really hope this helps you because I understand the pain you are all going though.

 

This is what worked for me:

* 150mg Fluconazole per day for 2 weeks (do not stop after it gets better. Finish the course or it will come back in a few months)

apply this cream while taking Fluconazole

* Clotrimazole 10mg/g.

 

Again, keep using it for the whole 2 weeks even after it recovers (IMPORTANT!!!).

 

Notes: 

* If you have been scratching your balls and there is an open wound then chances are that you may ALSO have a bacterial infection. THIS IS WHY SOME PEOPLE CAN NEVER SEEM TO FIND A CURE AS THE ANTI-FUNGALS WILL NOT GET RID OF THE BACTERIA. You may need to use an anti-bacterial cream as well in conjunction with the above.

 

* There are different types of fungal infections. If you also have athletes foot then taking Terbinafine will probably be more effective for you. You can get both Terbinafine anti-biotics and cream. I found that Terbinafine had no effect for me as I had a different kind of infection.

 

* If your condition is serious then it is most likely that creams alone will not work. It will probably come back after some relief.

 

* Try to avoid sugar and yeast whenever you can as fungal feeds off them both. 

 

I hope this helps. Good Luck!

I have had the itching and all for a few months. I also have kidney cancer. My cancer Dr looked at my red and itching places and thought it to be a yeast infection. He gave me some pills to take for 6 days, but they didn`t help. I will tell my Dr my next appointment. It never gets any worse just itches at night and forms a scab over the red spot. I have studied the testicle cancer symptoms and this doesn`t come close to being cancer of the testicles. I am going to try the 1% cream and powder and see if it helps. Baby powder helps for awhile, but doesn`t cure the problem. Thanks for all that is said. It`s better than a Dr`s opinion!!

 

I just woke up today and my scrotum intensely itchy I tried to resist but the itchiness was to much and I scratched the right side of my scrotum repeatedly which was very reliving at first but I couldn't do that at work so I had to take the day of. my scrotum is red raw and has creases in it were the skin has been irritated. I added some cocoa butter to it which stopped the itching after about 10mins but my scrotum is still sore and its quite a large part of the right side also. does anybody no any solutions I could try to stop it from being sore?

Try whitfields ointment which you can obtain from most chemists, non-prescription and about $10.00 a jar. Almost immediate relief from itchiness.

Ok,.... go to Walgreens and pick up 3 tubes of silver solution gel... use it until all three are gone. Just try it and post back..

Okay, I had thought in May 2013 it was jock itch, but was only on shaft upper shaft below head, a large reddish patch the size of a nickel; as I have Herpes since 1986 and no major outbreaks due to daily Acyclovir, was told by my doc it was outbreak. Massive 4 x doses of Acyclovir, Valtrex did nothing, then itchy scrotum stated. Tried coconut oil, Man 1 Oil, and all the Yeast Infection options, male and female topicals. Even tried using oral doses of Amoxacillin and Cipro, no joy. Even baby powder. Doc thought it might be either some sort of parasite, ala Scabies or folliculitis from shaving. I am currently trying Mupirocin Cream USP, 2% which is Rx only and cost me $100.00. Seems to be helping with itching especially at night was worse. After 2nd visit to doctor, I noticed some 12-15 red areas on scrotal sac, and suspected scabies. I have now found some 15 other little bite marks with one on bottom, one inner thigh, and rest on lower left leg. As I also started taking some prednisone recently, hope this is not from that. As I told my wife, I would see a witch doctor to fix this hell. Too many nights taking benedryl just to get some sleep. I also asked my doctor to give me Rx today for Permathrin 5%, again another $130.00 USD, applied it head to toe, now waiting 8-14 hours and I will repost based on results. Plan to continue with the Mupiroocin even tomorrow onward until it is done. Like anything I wonder if I have a variety of things going on, as constant scratching opens you up to bacterial infection. I am showering once a day, not using any soap, even mild soap at all on my junk. 

Please help me iam 11 years old and I have only masterbaited 5 times as the urge comes and i am getting these little patches of dead skin and then on the upper part of my testicles it has become raw and hurts extremely bad iam to emarased to tell my parents so i cant get any cream please help!

Just tell them you have a rash, they will not have to know the why.

okay, I found that 1/2 lotrimin and 1/2 hydrocortisone 2-3 times a day helped. More the hydrocortisone the dermatologist thinks. The dermatologist said some form of eczema, which is why it is itchy when you are in bed since your junk gets warmer under the covers, body temp rises. So this worked for me. Ongoing it can recur and he wrote Rx for Triamcinoline 0.1%, Triamcinolone is used to treat the itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort of various skin conditions. Overall much better, but I try to avoid rough scratching if i get a little itch. He said the skin down there is so thin, so you can irritate it more by scratching it tons.

this going to sound intense ,but rubbing alcohol is a realy good solution. I advice ,you will feel very intense iching and burning sensation when you apply it,but i did it fir about a mounth or so every morning or when the itch giot intense. Now itching has gone away and i couldt be happier. If you have troble sleeping at night apply rubbing alcohol and you willl be able to sleep all night.

my dermatologist gave me this antibiotic and it does work. I was itch free for six months, now skin tags and veracous veins are a new source of itch. by the way, the best powder is Assured foot powder, available at the Dollar store.

I had the same thing for almost two years. Went to Doctor 3 or 4 times & he kept telling me to use Lotramin or Monistat which I tried with countless home remedy such as vinegar, gold bond blue, to cortisone. I finally read online where a guy went to a specialist and found out what kind on yeast infection he had. He said to tell doctor to prescribe clotrimazole & Betamethasone cream(came in 1 tube). My doctor had never heard of it and looked it up in a med journal and said it had steroids and was for fungus. $20 and two days later I had been completely cured and no reoccurrence for 3 months! Spend the $ on the doctor's visit cause it was the only thing that worked!

Jock itch! Get the jock inch spray in a can and it will cure it fast

I started with this itchy crazy itchyness 6 month ago and it seemed an itch that scratching wouldn't get rid of. Drove me nuts no pun intended! Turns out my wife being a diabetic is prone to yeast infections and that can be passed during sex. Sometimes the beginning of a yeast infection isn't itchy that is how she passed it and only after having some passionate sex did she realize she was getting another yeast infection. They have over the counter meds for women and they work just as well for men. A topical cream for a few days and its gone. I'm a medic so I have lots of doctors and nurse practitioners to ask and they all agreed. Hope that helps

Please, do hurry to go to doctors before you try this. Petro(I think you people call it gasoline). Rub the petro there. It will feel like you are burning, afterwards, the skin will dry. The loose skin will flake off leaving a newer skin. Apply atleast 3 times per day. On the second day. The burning sensation will ease. By the forth day the skin will not even feel anything on application of petro. A newer flesh and healthier skin will come.
