itchy penis & scrotum

itchy penis & scrotum

I have an annoying itch on the head of my penis and also on my scrotum.  There small bumps - but not positive that they are related to the itching (they don't look new)...  Skin on my scrotum is reddish - and very itchy.

An anonymous person performed unprotected oral sex on me about 2 weeks ago - the itch has been significant for about a week.  I also began working out at the gym - wondering if it could just be a case of jock itch...

It really sounds like fungal to me. Oral sex is good for causing that too.  Since it's a holiday weekend, why not try an otc jock itch cream and see how that works by monday?

READ HOW MY GENITALS ITCH STOPED AFTER 6 YEARS!! I AM HERE TO HELP!

For the last 6 years I was suffering from a terrible itch in my scrotum and penis, which spreaded to be anal itchying as well.

There was no redness, or any rash. I have showed the itching areas to a number of doctors, and they could not see any physical marks which might indicate why i am itchying.

Desipte that fact, they gave me all kinds of creams, alovere, powders, moistness loations. Here are some of the names of medicines i have tried and DID NOT HELP: Esracain, Threolone, betacorten, A.D.Gel, A-DERMA, Cetomag...

Than, they sent me to the lab, looking for a fungus. That came out negative.

They said it is because i sweat a lot, and that i need to put moistness cream, wear untight boxers, take 2 showers a day..yada yada yada.

I tried Homeopathy and Naturopathy medicines which did not ease the itch.

I than started thinking about what i was eating. I tried taking off things from my menus. Didn't help.

Finally, one of my doctors suggested i change my shower soap. Instead of a regular soap, he told me to use BABY OIL bathing soap. THAT WORKED!!!!!!! I am currently washing all of my upper body + scrotum areas with this oil, my legs with a regualr soap, and my hair with a shampo. VERY IMPORTANT: when you wash your head from the shampo, tilt it so the soap will not touch your upper body and from there to the scrotum. make sure the soap drops straight to the floor so the only thing that touches your scrotum is the oil soap.

It took about 2-3 weeks from the day i started using this oil until the itching stoped. So be patient. The name of my soap is "AMOL", from Dr. fisher ( i live in israel). On the package it sais it contains Camomil and Azolan for skin relaxing. (it might help you locate a similar oil at your country).

I do not have a good explaination to this solution, since i took allergy tests which did not result in any positive allergies.

I have been the happiest person in the world, since i stoped itching, and i hope that if you are reading these line, you will be happy too, very soon!!!
