Question 1

small bumps on my scrotum? need to scratch em often

Accepted Answer

Molluscum?: Small 2-5 mm dome shaped bumps or papules on the genitals could be from a viral induced infection known as molluscum contagiosum. These are more commonly seen in children, but can also occur in individuals that are immunosupressed. There are also other causes for lesions on the scrotum, but without examination it is difficult to tell. I recommend a visit to your doctor or a dermatologist.

Question 2

i have an extremely irritating itch between my anus and my scrotum.only in the evenings then i scratch it badly. pls help?

Accepted Answer

See below: Agree with Dr. G.  Visit this site for information on pinworm: https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/pinworm/treatment.html
If treatment for pinworm does not work the first time , you should repeat it. If it still does not relieve the symptoms, see your doctor.

Question 3

what can i take to stop jock strap itch on my scrotum area? it itches and sometimes it bleeds when scratched

Accepted Answer

Antifungal creams: Most "jock-itch" is a superficial fungal infection of the skin in the groin area. If this is the case, many athlete's foot remedies will work here as well.  The ones to try first are lotrimin ultra or Lamisil (terbinafine) cream.  If it is because of yeast infection, use Nystatin cream.

Question 4

my scrotum gets extremelt itchy, especially in the night. have to scratch it lots, how can ii stop the itching...

Accepted Answer

Cream, antihistamine: Try Hydrocortisone cream several times a day and Allegra (fexofenadine) 180mg once a day. Both of these are available over the counter. If that doesn't work, you will need to see a dermatologist to rule out underlying problems.

Question 5

what do i have? woke up with a itch on my scrotum i started scratching but when i stopped it came back but even worse. been very sweaty.

Accepted Answer

Jock Itch: Also known as tinea cruris, it's a very common fungal infection of the groin region and other moist environments on the body. Treatment can be achieved using topical over-the-counter antifungal agents. Put on socks before undershorts to reduce risk of spread to feet. Dry the area completely after bathing and to use separate towels for drying the groin and other areas until resolved.
