why is the scrotum so itchy

Illiterate....slowdown and use puncuation.

I have had this problem for 3 years -- itchy, flaky, dry scrotum -- and over the last couple weeks my symptoms have improved probably 90%. I am just dealing with the last bit of inflammatory skin healing. I am so grateful for natural medicines!

I think the condition started as an internal fungal infection or something. Over time, the scrotum became quite leathery and inflamed and I would wake up almost every night scratching. My scrotum would sometimes feel like there was liquid stuck inside it. Sometimes it would be warm and moist, other times it would be dry. It was quite hellish, and I became depressed and suicidal at times and I tried everything. It consumed me and messed up my emotional, spiritual, social, and work life. The scrotum was so sensitive -- it's still sensitive but doesn't itch NEARLY as much.

I did two water fasts -- 19 days and 13 days -- and still the itching was there. At first I thought it was Candida so I became quite strict with diet for a while.

Now, I am following a vegan diet. I am also taking ayurvedic herbs and chinese medicinal herbs along with a homeopathic solution.

These are the things that I believe have helped me the most:

-vegan gluten-free diet -- try to keep sugars and oils and salts as low as possible. Greens are good. Celery is great!
-homeopathic solutions -- I have taken a couple. Please find a qualified, experienced homeopathic doctor either in person or online.
-ayurvedic concoctions -- "Khadirarishta" and "Mahamanjishthadi Kwath (Pravahi)".
-Chinese medicine -- "Long Dan Xie Gan Pian" In the Chinese texts, this is recommended for genital itching.
-acupuncture -- find a good affordable community acupuncture room (easier to find in a bigger city) and go as often as possible.
-"Psoriasis Eczema Rescue Treatment" by Bubba Earth Naturals. Do not dry off after you get out of the shower; apply while still wet.
-Vitamin D -- I was very vitamin D deficient (11 out of 100 -- normal range 30-100). Take Vitamin D and get out in the sun!

Other things that help:
-Chiropractic
-Omega 3s
-Zinc
-hormone balancing w/ supplements
-vitamins (good quality)
-bioscan, biomeridian testing.

I wish everyone the best. Stop the steroids and antibiotics!

Maybe his scrotum is in his ass

I've been suffering from random itching for years. finally decided to see
a doctor about it. He said it's a fungal infection and gave me a LAMISIL ointment. Have to apply it 2 times a day for a couple of weeks. It is much stronger and better than Clotrimazole 1% which is another
antifungal ointment. i'm very optimistic about this.

I use Gold Bond Cream --Slightly burning sensation when applied but soon calms and at least able to sleep

I also get itchy scrotum on a regular basis. It goes from being painful as I break the skin to being quite enjoyable. I don't know what the answer is. I have recently gone on weight watchers and lost 2.stone. My scrotum is itchy than ever which I am surprised at as I thought the heathly I was the less itching but no!

Try washing the area well with a foam liquid soap with microban (Dial foaming hand soap) in the shower. Then apply Neosporin to your rectum. Ahhhh.

I would contact a doctor and have it removed.

Instead of going through all the non-sense that DDD recommends. Just get some gold bond and powder your groin area and you will be fine. New under isn't going to make a difference. Just keep things washed and also trim the hair down there. Not sure why dairy, eggs, wheat could cause the itchiness. I also wouldn't recommend using dish soap as he mentions above unless you want red irritate balls!!

that is too many times a day....but cleaning your pits and crotch 2 to 3 times a day may help....and a little Vaseline to help stave off the fungus and moisture buildup if you can't get a 1% cortisone ointment or a physician's prescription for what it is exactly causing the itch....Benadryl will help with the itching, but if it is a fungal problem, you will need to get rid of that...everytime you clean your scrotum, change your underwear if you wear any....And Benadryl does have a topical gel or cream too.

Here's the cure : When taking a warm shower wash yourself four to five times washing and rinsing thoroughly after each wash with Dial antibacterial soap gold liquid. Then apply to the moistened area Morton iodized table salt (it will burn intensely at first because it is destroying the fungal colonies but it will sub-side) for about 20 minutes or until the burning subsides after the burning sub-sides let it stay on for an additional 10 minutes. Lightly rinse off the salt and wash your hands thoroughly with the Dial soap before exiting the shower and touching your dry towel. Dry all unaffected areas of your body first with the dry towel leaving an area of the towel dry so the affected area can be dried last. Before dressing apply Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream 0.1% to the affected area and try to keep that area warm while you sleep after the application. If it is Summer time, just apply and go about your day. Let you doctor know that you have a heat rash type of eczema that appears in warm moist places of your body and you cannot sleep due to the itching and over the counter medications like Cortisone do not work. A friend (which is me) mentioned this cream to you and found it helpful in his treatment. Ask the doctor for the 80g cream tube. When going to the pharmacy ask the pharmacist which manufacture of Acetonide cream they carry, I have found Perrigo is far better than Fougera (I do not know why it is better but it is) find a pharmacy that carries the Perrigo before filling the prescription. The tube cost about $15 to $20. Please keep in mind this not a one time application I'm healed type of cure remedy. The treatment will have to be done every time you start to feel itching in the affected area, however after a week to two weeks you will be cured. Because many fungal infections are resistant to medications especially over the counter they are hard to treat, however they are not resistant to salt. I had a doctor once give me some fungal pills which I took for two weeks once a day with a fungal body wash. The rash was gone in two days, however because fungal pills can cause liver damage a lot of doctors will not prescribe them (they do not want lawsuits), so they only prescribe topical creams. My ex-wife and I were separated for eight months when I saw that doctor, we reconciled and the rash came back eight months later. I believe this rash can be transferred by body contact for I have never had a rash before I met her and I also noticed after we met and started living together she had a lot of fungal creams in her medicine cabinet. If you should start to feel itching on your legs and feet also during the time you are doing the treatments apply the salt to your legs down to your toes or anywhere else on your body that is itching is occurring keeping moist salt paste at all locations that are fungal infected. Treat any less affected or secondary area first with your hands before applying to the original affected area using your hands. I have been to dermatologists, doctors and have spent thousands of dollars on all of them along with there stupid prescriptions, they know what it is, but because they do not want to prescribe fungal pills they will prescribe the steroid cream that I mentioned above which by itself does not work. I have suffered for many years trying everything and every type of remedy on the web and prescription and over the counter. This treatment is the only one that has worked. Once you try it, you will believe in it also. Hope this information helps you as it has helped me. If it does work for you please post this on two other forums and ask those people to do the same.

Added note for first part of the treatment: Wash your whole body first with any soap you desire and rinse, then wash the affected area 4 to 5 times with Dial Anti-bacterial gold soap. Then follow the rest of the directions...
