i am 18 years old and i have had a somewhat smelly scrotum rash for sometime now. at first it started out as a itchy scrotum and then developed into a rash on the side of my legs (i still had a little bit of a rash on the lower parts of my scrotum and underside of my penis). i originally had some steroid cream around the house so i used it and the rash went away but then when i stopped using the cream the rash came back. concerned, i went to the doctor and he explained that i have jock itch and theres nothing to worry about. so i grabbed some anti-fungal cream and proceeded to apply it to my leg/groin/penile area. it concerned me because i knew that tinea does not affect the penile area. soon enough the rash went away - on my legs. However, today i still have the rash on the underside of my penis and side of my scrotum. i also have little white buildups where my pubic hair enters the skin. it is also somewhat smelly - almost yeast like.....but i dont have any discharge coming from my penis. i am so confused. Could this be an STD? Could it be a yeast infection? i tried using vinegar to make the raised parts more visable but it didnt really do much. i am still a virgin so i dont know how i could have aquired genial herpes. but im looking to get this cleared up. any support would be greatly appreciated!

Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. It occurs when the immune system sends out faulty signals that speed up the growth cycle of skin cells. Psoriasis is not contagious. It commonly causes red, scaly patches to appear on the skin, although some patients have no dermatological symptoms. The scaly patches caused by psoriasis, called psoriatic plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production. Skin rapidly accumulates at these sites and is a silvery-white appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp, palms of hands and soles of feet, and genitals. In contrast to eczema, psoriasis is more likely to be found on the extensor aspect of the joint.
The disorder is a chronic recurring condition that varies in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage. Fingernails and toenails are frequently affected (psoriatic nail dystrophy) and can be seen as an isolated symptom. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as psoriatic arthritis. Ten to fifteen percent of people with psoriasis have psoriatic arthritis.
The cause of psoriasis is not exact, but it is believed to have a genetic component and it can be triggered by a prolonged injury to the skin known as Koebner phenomenon[citation needed]. Various environmental factors have been suggested as aggravating to psoriasis including stress, withdrawal of systemic corticosteroid, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking but few have shown statistical significance. There are many treatments available, but because of its chronic recurrent nature psoriasis is a challenge to treat.

This could be a number of things, but it sounds a lot like yeast infection, which can affect the scrotum as well as the penis. You can treat this with an over-the-counter antifungal. Since the cream you used for jock itch didn’t work, you might want to try a feminine yeast remedy like monistat – this should work for guys, as well. Make sure to use the full course recommended on the packaging, or you may not clear things up completely. You really should go back to your doctor for a positive diagnosis, as the condition keeps recurring. You can also reduce the risk of recurring infections and clear up irritated skin with a penis health formula (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil).
Good luck!

One i am not a doctor, But i stuff stuff such as these since i was 10 and started study on them. Now i am 18 and the problem you are facing can be self infected. meaning that at some age we may become curious and try things even if you did not have sex. you may do stuff such as masturbation, which you may not clean up properly after you are through. And the body fluids and all that comes with ejaculation is mainly protein and will attract bacteria, which will therefore leads to an infection if the are is not clean properly. This can best be treated with the use of anti-biotic and the use of recommended creams. Also you should consider reducing dairy products intakes. And using harsh soaps and washing the affected area in an aggressive way can make it worst. keep the area clean at all times and dry properly after each shower. Hope this helps :-|
