Red Scrotum Syndrome and anxiety question

[Jasons4330]

About three weeks ago I noticed my scrotum was bring red. The only skin involved was the scrotum, the strip down the middle was its normal color.  It was not a rash just bright red pigmented skin, it did not itch, it had a slight burn every so often so I can live with it.   I also had a classic case of jock itch, I work out alot, sit around in sweaty compression shorts and the folds on both sides of my groin became red, itchy and scaly.   I went to my doctor who prescribed me 100 mg of Diflucan for 7 days and gave me a prescription anti fungal cream which seems to be working on the groin skin fold problem.   I applied this cream for three days to my scrotum and realized that the problem on my scrotum may not be fungal at all.    Alittle back ground on myself in May of this year I did something completely out of character and had a drunken fling with someone I did not know.  The condom broke and for almost 6 months now I have dealt with an huge amount of anxiety, guilt and paranoia over std's. I am also a severe hypochondriac and suffer from OCD.    I have been taken a 7 week IGG test negative for herpes and also a 17 week IGG test which was negative.  

This red scrotum came on at about 5 and a half months since this encounter and in researching it It seems there may be some connection to red scrotum syndrome psychological distress.  Can anyone confirm this ?

Also I have red the best treatment for this is no treatment at all is this also correct?

Has anyone had any luck working with a psychologist in relieving these symptoms ?

Thanks in advance

- Also a dermatologist or doctor would have to prescribe this. And the powder i used was called something other than zeasorb, it was in a red/white/blue mostly white container but i forget the name. It smelled real "mediciney".

I got "redballs" after having sex with a woman with a condom on. It ocurred only about 10-24 hours after coitis (sex) which was surprisingly fast. I think the cause was something she had on/in her vagina, but it was also poor hygene on my part. It is important to scrub your balls with a firm soapy brush daily while in the bath or shower. But this will not cure the rash once you've contracted it, this is only a preventative measure.
            The  actual cure for the rash once you've contracted it is an application of iodoquinol/hyrocortisone cream followed by a dusting of zeasorb or a zeasorb-type powder daily or twice daily and/or after bathing, on the scrotum (nutsack). And  gentle soapy scrubbing of nutsack while bathing. this should be done for at least 1-2 weeks  and the rash should quickly subside.
    Can a woman get "redballs" i don't know? but i do believe i got it from a woman. Their cure may be a bit more complicated though.

When did it start working... The nizoral shampoo

One week later and I'm completely clear. Nizoral did work.

I tried Ted's suggestion of using Nizoral and it's looking like it works! I have gone from a bright red to a deep pink colour in 24 hours.
I think mine was due to steroid creams for another skin condition, so I have stopped using that as well.
I will let you know how it goes from here but a brilliant start
