Fungal infection: Fungi tend to live on moist skin or in skin folds. It is possible to have a recurrent infection on the scrotum ("jock itch"). Since this has been present for years it is best to see a Dermatologist.

Question 4

itchy all over, esp scalp. allergic to all enviro items, but on flonase with clean house and it's winter. dry skin. very itchy!

Accepted Answer

See doctor: There are many causes for generalized itching but i would suggest that you first avoid using any strong or scented soap and apply a skin moisturizer immediately after bathing.   Anxiety can induce or worsen itching as well. For the scalp itching: Wet hair-&gt;apply sesame oil-&gt;shampoo gently after 15 minutes may be helpful. Rx cortisone spray /solution may also be needed if above failed.

Accepted Answer

Needs exam: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. Dry skin is one possibility. Herpes and yeast are others. Schedule a visit for an exam.

Question 8

iam 57 and have small bumps on the side of my vagina lips  and dry skin on the lips them self. what is this? it is very itchy. no sex, medipause done

Accepted Answer

Lack of estrogen: More than likely, this presentation involves menopausal estrogen loss which can affect the lower genital tract although vulvar and vaginal infections may present this way as well. There are some skin conditions like lichen sclerosis, more common in menopausal women, that can present with itching as well. See your doctor as this is usually a visual diagnosis.

Question 9

i have very itchy, dry, and slightly raised bumps on my mons pubis that are a red-ish brown color. is this just dry skin? what can i do to treat it?

Accepted Answer

Bumps: It is hard to judge based on just your description. It could be dry skin but it also could be an infection like folliculitis or molluscum contagiosum.

Question 10

small bumps on arms and legs. very itchy. no puss. dry skin.

what could it be? no other signs. 
allergic reaction or more?

Accepted Answer

Probably: an irritative folliculitis...inflammation of the tiny pouches i which your hairs are growing ..this is often caused BY SHAVING TOO CLOSE or TOO OFTEN! An antibacterial moisturizing soap may help! Ask your PCP (Primary Care Provider) for a suggestion!
Hope this helps!
