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 lotinSo 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.
It looks like you might be having dermatitis that might be due to sweating or rubbing of clothes, friction of thighsor bacteria on toilet seat. Just make sure you dry yourself real good after showers and as soon as you sweat pat your self dry or preferably just shower. I am a wife with 2 kids so I live with all boys including myhusband so also what I do is I spray Lysol or buy the clorox sheets to clean the toilet seat and let it dry to kill any bacteria that builds up there. Imagine poor seat cover all the people that sit on it, including your visitors. It's a bacteria waiting to happen. I use to get blisters on my outer thigh and I would wonder why if I am a real clean person until I realized it might be that, so I was surpised to see that after I started cleaning the toilet seat like I told you, I havent had a skin irritation for a while. Hope this can be helpful.
I've had large pimples on my thighs that drive me nuts and a doc told me they are called Hidroadenitis. Its a very painful condition and sometimes they get so big and infected it causes my entire inner thigh to get red, sore and swollen :'( . At that point I have to go to the hospital and get it lanced and drained sometimes up to 2cc of pus/blood mix is drained out of them and then get IV antibiotics. I use Metrogel topically to dry out the small ones (quarter size) and it helps alot, but no one knows why I get them or how to cure them and that makes me very sad :'( . I have scars on my inner thighs so bad from them that I'm embarrassed to sunbathe or go to the gynecologist :$ . My thighs rub together making it worse and when they break open all that gunk comes out onto my clothes and then it bleeds pretty bad staining everything >:( . Try to use bandaids to cover them up, but the inner thigh area isn't the easiest to bandage and they just fall off.
