Question 1

i have severe itching of my scrotum and base of my penis?

Accepted Answer

Any rash?: Is there redness or rash with the itching? A yeast infection could be one of the problems if there is an associated rash. Otherwise heat and friction may be the cause. Cortisone type cream may relieve some of the symptoms. Try wearing loose fitting underwear and trousers in case heat and friction are the causes. If there is a rash try an antifungal cream before consulting a dermatologist.

Question 2

i took sulfameth/trimethoprim for about 3 days. i have severe itching on my scrotum and penis. i stopped taking the medication. what about the itching?

Accepted Answer

Drug Reaction: It sounds like you may have had an allergic reaction to the medication.  Is it getting any better?  You should report your symptoms to the prescriber of the medication.  You can take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) now to decrease the itching.

Question 3

i am having severe itching on my genitals. there are some lumps on my scrotum and penis and it is very itchy and painful. skin is also dry

Accepted Answer

Lumps on Genitals: If you have a lump on your genital area you need to go see a doctor as soon as possible. It's very difficult to make assessments based on the information you have given over the internet.

Question 4

i have had severe itching in my groin (under scrotum to anus) for 15 years.  inside ears also itch off/on.  eczema cream helps but doesn't cure. help!

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: You may have a type of neuropathy. An exam by a skin expert is essential. If "eczema cream" helps, be sure to review with the dermatologist. Sometimes we need to concede that no cure exists, then settle for the best control. You will need to be specific about all creams or other treatments

Question 5

what causes severe itching on your  scrottum?

Accepted Answer

Itchy Scrotum: Improving hygiene is one of the best ways to treat an itchy scrotum. Shower daily and use a mild soap to wash the genital area. Sometimes the itchiness is caused by perfumes or dyes, so use white, fragrance-free soap. Wear looser underwear and pants to allow ample oxygen to the area. Use a mild lotion for dry skin. A mild prescription cortisone is also helpful suc as prescription Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) lotion.

Question 6

hello, i received unprotected oral sex from a woman who was a sex worker

since then, i had considerable itching in my genital area including my scrotum. i don't have issues urinating. but i do have this bad itch. ureaplasma? uti? maybe a fungus?

Accepted Answer

Unprotected sex: Recommend you consult local team as they know best what is going around in your area and the best treatment for what is going around.  Every place is different.  Rely on local advice. Go to STD clinic for testing  and treatment.

Question 7

there is a small patch on skin that seems like is peeling on the right side on my scrotum that it mildly painful but bearable and sometimes itches ?

Accepted Answer

Genital rash: And dry skin.  You MAY have a fungal infection.  Please see your doctor.  Infections like damp and dark places so light and air is good, along w/daily change of underwear.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

i have a tick bite on my scrotum. its left a red bump and sometimes itches, is this serious?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Ticks can carry numerous diseases, including rocky mountain spotted fever, lyme disease, borrelia infections, and others. If you develop other symptoms see a doctor asap.  If this rash begins to spread outward or resembles a target, go and get treated for lyme disease. Good luck.

Question 9

i have a rash on my scrotum and left buttock. it itches and burns and has been present for five days. there are four small nickel sized clusters?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like yeast: It sounds like yeast infection. Try over the counter lamisil (terbinafine) cream twice a day but if it does not resolve see a doctor for testing and exam.

Question 10

shock pain into tip of penis. occasionally tickly like at same spot. side of penis itches no lesions. some pain at times in pelvis, scrotum and testicles. std negative, normal urine test. ultrasound normal. cytoscopy normal. hpv cause this?

Accepted Answer

Penile pain: It sounds like you have already had an extensive negative (normal results) work up. However the description of your pain sounds like it could be neurological origin. Perhaps check with a neurologist to assess possible sacral nerve dysfunction. 
I hope you find some relief from the problem soon.
