PAINful skin rash on scrotum

by canovalik, Aug 13, 2007 06:08AM
I posted this into another forum but i doubt I'll be getting help there, as it hasn't been posted in for about 5-6 years.  I talk about things the other forum started so just try to catch on...

I'm only 16 and I've been getting this the past 3 summers of my life.  I thought I was going to escape it this time cause its late August, but I was wrong...  I never knew what this was, always just thought that maybe it could be a minor thing like poison ivy.  Well I am currently in a breakout of this (FFFin sucks!) and it was just too intense for me to believe it was poison ivy.  I'm pretty sure we are all talking aboiut the same thing, the scrotum turns red and gets very dry (when dry it looks like leather/hide) and after it's takin its course, the peeling begins! YAY!haha not quite...  I stumbled across this forum because it is 7 a.m. and i haven't slept a minute all night, too much scratching and itching!  I know the best solution is to stop scratching, because no matter how intense my itch is, if I can avoid scratching it it will settle and get off my mind.  I just want to ask everyone if they started having this problem at such a young age as well and what he hell you guys think I should do!!!!

sounds like jock itch(happens in the summer when that area is sweaty and hotter than usual). you need a topical antifungal. avoid touching as you can spread it and make it worse. if you use an over the counter jock itch medicine for a week, by the instructions with no improvement, then you'll need to see a doctor.
