Q: weird black growths on skin of my scrotum. when scratched off, there was no blood and more of the 'growths' came on the scrotum. size is < 1mm/growth.

Blackheads?: Doesn't sound too bad. Maybe just clogged hair follicles. Make sure you're washing scrotum daily.

Q: took my pants off,saw tons of black stuff sprinkling down from my scrotum.discovered flaky dead skin allover my scrotum.not painful. what can this be?

Old skin: You already answered your question in a way - the black stuff is likely flakey dead skin. Since it is not painful, it is unlikely to be a bacterial infection. If there is itching, it could be secondary to a fungal infection or even chafing due to exercise. "jock itch" is due to a fungus, and often causes darker skin in affected area. It would be best to see your Dr to make a definitive diagnosis

Accepted Answer

Testicular pain: Please ask your docs about Kegal exercises for men.  Do you ride a bike or wear boxer shorts?  There may be lifestyle choices that strain the area.  Are you especially anxious/tense in body?  Therapeutic massage (not of genitals but entire body otherwise) may also help.  Nerve damage?  See urologist or neurologist. Peace and good health.

Question 4

is it normal to have black skin on scrotum?

Accepted Answer

Yes ...: Darker color on scrotal skin is normal because genital area is sex hormonal sensitive so its color undergoes its natural change from childhood to puberty/adolescence to adulthood just like similar change in female genital region and areola of breasts throughout life and during pregnancy. So, what you noticed is normal. If still in doubt, ask Doc timely.

Question 5

my skin is very dry and itchy under scrotum sack.

Accepted Answer

Itchy scrotal skin: Itchy scrotal skin can have a number of causes, such as eczema, contact dermatitis, candida infections.  Even some benign growths on scrotal skin like angiokeratomas, tiny little purple papules, can cause itching.  One must be careful with using cortisone cream in this area as the skin is thin and delicate, and cortisone can cause thinning in a short period of time.
