fungus on testicles

fungus on testicles

My problem has been going on for about two to three months now and Im not sure what to do or think.
Everytime I have sex with my wife, afterwards my testicles are always itchy. Sometimes to the point where I scratch so hard for relief that I may take some skin off. Not only that but most recently I have noticed tiny little gray bumps growing on my testicles and for the life of me I cant figure out where all of this is coming from. Have you ever heard of any this before?

Hi

One primary differential for this is a fungal infection. Fungal infections may appear as reddish rash with whitish bumps that may be itchy. They may be transmitted through direct skin to skin contact. These bumps may have well delineated red borders. I suggest that you have the skin scrapings from the area evaluated prior to applying any lotions or creams. KOH examinations may show fungal infection when present. Also, moisturize the area with Vitamin E cream this will ease the dryness and irritation. If this does not work, 1% hydrocortisone cream applied thinly once daily may ease the itchiness and the rash. Observe for two days. If no improvement is noted, have this assessed by your doctor so the right antifungal cream may be given.
